“Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start to see a big difference in your life.” – Yoko Ono
Thanks for this one Spidey.
It’s a reminder I feel a heck of a lot of people I know could do with right now.
If you know me, you’ll know that I seldom have anything but a smile on my face. I rarely plaster foundation and cosmetics on my face, my makeup is my smile.
And as long as I have a smile on my face, there is so much in life that feels easier to deal with.
I’m not a total dreamer though. I know that having a smile plastered on your face 24/7 is not going to magically make all problems disappear.
In fact, many of those that have a smile regularly, are often those who are going through a lot in the background of their life, but like a clown, that smile masks everything else.
It’s true of me too. Life is seldom smooth sailing. There is always something bubbling away in my mind, but for me, facing life with a smile really does help.
It’s also good exercise, you know! We use more muscles to smile than to frown!
And a smile is often contagious. If you beam at someone, or give a little smile, you’ll often receive one in return, or if you don’t you may have given someone a little spark of positivity that they will hopefully allow to ignite into a full smile a bit later!
I found a lovely article here on some facts about smiling. Be sure to check it out!
So make sure you smile Peeps, at yourself, and at others. It’ll make for a better day! 🙂

Linda’s prompt for #SoCS this week…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “moot.” Use it as the theme of your post or just use the word in a stream of consciousness post about something else. Enjoy!
Now, Linda, that’s not fair!
Not a nice easy pre-Christmas, festive prompt!
So I ended up with this nonsense rhyme! Hope you enjoy 🙂
“The prompt”, she said, “is moot.”
But it just didn’t compute
Some might think it a beaut
But it’s rendered me almost mute!
So I’ll just rhyme with it – Bandicoot
And there’s also passionfruit
How about lawsuit?
Or maybe cowboy boot?
Not before I convolute
And you, my Peeps, dispute
I really must just shoot
I hope you had a hoot!

Another week… will it be another lb?
The countdown to Christmas is on… there have been lots of naughty things being baked/consumed, but hey, it IS Christmas, Syns forgiven, and all that!
So that’s Nutella Tree, Chocolate Croissants, and homemade chocolate dipped cookies… Oops!
And not including the School Christmas Lunch we had, Turkey with all the trimmings… the first of several which I’ll be consuming over the next couple of weeks!
But I was good too!
And how did I do when I stepped on those scales? My only wish was that I had at least maintained last week’s weight… it was inevitable, though, a gain was due…
And I actually lost 0.5lb!
Surprised was not the word!
So that is 19.5lb of on Slimming World, and 24.5lb in total since I began this journey!
I have nibbled on several treats all day… they are everywhere and it is far too tempting!
This week, my in-laws will be back from the Motherland too, so hopefully it won’t end up being me eating a lot of lovely home cooked meals, that aren’t exactly SW friendly!
And it is our staff Christmas party on Wednesday… I can’t guarantee a result like this week, but I can at least try to be good!
Have a wonderful treat filled week Peeps!!!
