I Simply Want to Make You Smile

We need to be intentional about finding good news these days. Fear, comparison to others and drama seems to sell lately. I’m rebelling against the system, in a positive way. I’m sending you a post simply to make you smile. It’s full of beautiful prose and links to happy things.

I’m going to begin by sharing something I created just for you, my beloved readers, no matter who you are or where you live. After all, you deserve it. It’s a poem comprised of 21 lines from others’ poems that offer hope and happiness. I guess we could call it a beautiful conglomeration of joyful prose. It was fun searching for all the lines because my brain was focused on locating words that made me me feel good. I thank all the talented poets who lent me their writing to create this montage. (Their names and the titles of the poems are listed at the bottom of this piece in order to give them full credit for their work.)

The third post of the month is dedicated to my paid subscribers. I’d love for you to subscribe or upgrade to read the rest.

Now we’re going to move onto a list of happy things- activities and ideas that make us feel good. Read them over and soak them up for a bit. Think about which ones you could try.
