Just for today ... practice the art of smiling ... all day.
See how your smile is contagious and how it can make others feel better about themselves and life.
Look for the humor in your situations and you will smile in spite of everything.
Smile at your friends. Smile at your enemies. Smile at people you don't know. Smile at your pets. Smile at your family. Smile even at the air you breathe.
If you don't feel like smiling ... try very hard to list 3 blessings in your life.
Then you will let the energy of those blessings enter your heart and you will be able to smile.
May your day be blessed with wonderful smiles!
Namaste!
