 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: What are those things that make you smile every time you think about them? -------- For me: People! Family and Friends! My sons! My cat! But not necessarily in that order. Those ones I listed show up as pleasant surprises inside my thoughts and they often lead to smiles and happy feelings. Acts of kindness also make my list but below people and animals. Acts of kindness need not be directed at me but just to see them take place makes me glad that in this world kind people (and kind cats) also exist. Then comes nature's beauty such as ripples on the waters and the lines and white foam a ship leaves behind it as it sails. Sea gulls and the sound of oars when I'm in a small boat. The first buds on a new plant or the seeds hatching into tiny plants. The colors on the horizon as the sun sets...etc. For other people, maybe...: In addition to those I listed above for myself, some may feel happy and they may smile when they recall humorous moments, inside jokes, knowing they've achieved goals, unexpected surprises, and happy memories such as vacations, celebrations, and personal achievements. Although these things may also be pleasant for me, I don't necessarily remember and rejoice about those; although, in fact, they are very important in all our lives. Isn't it nice though that we all have something to smile about? |
