Daily Question, October 31

In my life, what brings about a beaming smile?

  • Misty

    The wonders of nature, kids being kids, humour that is not at anyone’s expense, seeing others with a beaming smile.

  • cricchiom

    Traveling the world with my closest friends.

  • Malag

    My four legged friend. The look of unconditional acceptance from my dog is precious and very much a smile-inducing experience.

  • dimple dangi

    Reading a book that i absolutely love, watching my little sister do weird things, making everyone around me smile.

  • Patricia Moore Burton

    In my life, what brings about a beaming smile is to know that Jesus is Lord. I have a relationship with him knowing that he will never leave me nor forsake me, but he will be with even until the end of the world. i am so glad to be his servant

  • Billy

    In my life, my mother and father bring about a beaming smile. Water polo, surfing, memories, making memories, love, kissing, music, dancing, Jesus, the saints, Mary, and much, much more bring
    many smiles!

  • Shellan

    my children’s faces. They are grown and in their 20’s but just seeing them warms me up.

  • Eliza

    Sitting in solitude as a peaceful, soft dawn breaks

  • Don Jones

    The incredible gift of this life.

  • Pollyanna Gladwell

    Nudge nudge, wink wink! Yes, even at my age! (71)

    Tom and Jerry cartoons for the observations by the artists who put the gestures and expressions on the animals. And the music is always perfect.

    And the fact that I will never ever – and I mean NEVER EVER! – have to hold a spider like the one in the picture.

  • Linda

    Children giggling while they are playing. I love their completely innocent and in-the-moment joy.

  • Papilio

    Unexpected 5-1/2″ snowfall turning everything white.
    The Halloween blue moon will be shining brightly tonight.

  • Present Moment

    Animals that instinctively know they can look me in the eye.

  • Zenith

    The picture of that big spider was not appreciated. I was attacked by a terrantula once. I won’t forget it.

  • Javier Visionquest

    Baby-wearing moms. Baby-wearing dads. Watching people grow. Seeing my friends succeed in their endeavors beyond their expectations. The way a maitake mushroom glows from the dank shadow of the forest floor.

  • Zenith

    Music. Sunshine and clear skies no matter the temp. The carefree nature of children at play.

  • Rosemary

    When my boyfriend and I dance around the living room. He smiles, I smile, and we surrender to the silly joy of the moment.

  • Patricia

    Grandchildren, seeing wildlife on our property every day, the birds, our little dog… waking up to live another day with a man I love. (But frankly, definitely not seeing the picture of the tarantula on today’s Word for Today!! I get the connection, but yikes!) 🙂

    My life, itself, brings about a beaming smile. The long and winding road, while still going on, has brought me to a place I never would have expected. I finally looked life in the eyes, did the right thing for myself, and now I am living in a state of joy and gratitude, a place very unfamiliar to me just a mere 5 years ago. I found my soulmate, and we are living an amazing life, leaping hurdles together, laughing and dancing and making plans for the rest of our life. Our dog and cat bring beamin...

    My life, itself, brings about a beaming smile. The long and winding road, while still going on, has brought me to a place I never would have expected. I finally looked life in the eyes, did the right thing for myself, and now I am living in a state of joy and gratitude, a place very unfamiliar to me just a mere 5 years ago. I found my soulmate, and we are living an amazing life, leaping hurdles together, laughing and dancing and making plans for the rest of our life. Our dog and cat bring beaming smiles to the both of us. And surfing – surfing brings a smile so in the moment with Mother Nature, so in motion with the movement of the ocean. That connection to energy is so incredible that you can’t help but smile! What a great life!
