"If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done." ~Ludwig Wittgenstein
Smiling is first an attitude and then an action. We don't have to be bubbling over with inner happiness to smile. If something is bothering us, we may just discover it will not loom so large if we focus our energy on smiling or saying something terribly silly and quite fun -- to a friend or better yet to a stranger...
Here, are some photo's of me that I hope will make you smile & see how fun it can be when we are in touch with "our inner child." So, here's to smiling, laughing, and just being plain old silly.
Smiling...
Silly & having fun....
Perhaps, this is how one CreATe's BaLanCe....
