Living life with a chronic illness is definitely not easy. But I do my best to push through all the barriers this illness puts in front of me! In my heart and mind, I believe maintaining a positive outlook on all situations in life will carry us through to much better times! I hope you find the information that I provide both helpful and inspirational!

Be it always Less, So It can be More.
Some people just don’t understand what a smile does for them and for others. Guess they prefer looking like their shoes are always too tight.

Your quip made me smile! If there’s ever been a time when we all need to share our smiles with others, even beneath our masks, now would be the time. It’s such a small thing to do with such big results.

When quite young, I recall studying people’s faces on the underground trains to and from work, and wondering just how many were really suffering…Had the woman with the fixed, downcast mouth been bereaved/lost her handbag/just been ‘ditched?’/ the man with the perpetual frown, suffered from gout, piles or some-such, painful illness? Etcetera…Most of the genuinely suffering people I’ve come across,, smile far more than imagined! xx

The sad thing is with Rona and the elections smiles are few and far between here. I want you to know that for some reason I can’t share your posts on Twitter. The “share ” button won’t open. I’ll keep trying.

Try smiling as you repeatedly hit the greyed button. Then after the 5th try pour 3 fingers and pause Don Quixote.

Yes – I’ve never understood scowling people. A smile is free and makes others feel better. 😀
I know it’s a little tricky these days with everyone wearing masks – but I got round that by making my mask have a large smile like the Joker! – It’s just how the pattern in the material came out, but I like it! 🙂

I found mine but a bit tattered though…it was in my other pocket, the one I keep my bills in, my dirty handkerchief, a note of rejection from her, the tears on a tissue, the receipt from my car impoundment, and last but not least, the empty chocolate wrapper. I wonder if I put a couple of full ones in there would it change my smile…just thinking about it seems to give a little tug at the corners of my mouth 😂 🤣
