Some lovely use of acronym there.
When trauma hits, I wonder if we are conditioned to appear miserable because that is what we think people expect. The truth is as you say, we can choose our emotions.

Catrien,
I love your thoughts on SMILE and how you can bring the intention forward even when we feel enveloped by darkness.

Davina, thank you for visiting again with your warm wishes. I very much appreciate your wisdom of, “sometimes it’s okay to not have a smile too.” Yes, we can connect so deeply on other levels, as you say. Thank you for connecting today.

Hi Catrien.
Reading through the comments, I see that you are feeling better now. I’m glad. I too enjoyed reading your acroynms for the word smile. Some of the best posts I’ve read have been written by people who’ve just been through a rough time. Interesting how so much light can come from those dark periods. Sometimes it’s okay to not have to smile too. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to always wear a smile, when sometimes we can connect on so many other deeper levels with one another through these periods.
