Big Smiles

Today at school, we played basket against some other schools. I REALLY DO NOT LIKE BASKET BALL!!! And when we were done, my teacher came over to me and said: "Good job! You really like basket, don't you?" And I was like ?????. The only thing I had done, was smile all day.    If you smile, you can make people happy. And they will smile at you.

My lesson of the day: Sometimes you make people happy, be faking it! And it makes you happier to make someone happy!

Big smiles,

What is Happiness?

What is happiness?? I've always wondered. If you look it up in a dictonary it says: Felling of deep joy and great satisfaction for the (life) situation you are in. But is it? Happiness isn't a thing you can put to lines under. I think happiness is different from person to person. And sometimes happiness can be the same as love. Not love, like a boy loves a girl. But love for the world, everything. Happiness can also be a felling of peace in your soul. Happiness can be everything.

Happiness to all. Young or old. Thick or thin. Black or white.

Cake VS leotard

I have a sweet tooth, and sometimes it can get the better of me. But I have this deal with myself:
If I eat, so I'm proud of myself, for one whole month, then i will allow myself to by a new leotard!


Notice that i write "Eat, so I'm proud of myself"? When I eat to much unhealthy stuff, I don't feel pround of myself, so in the month, I don't diet! I still allow me to eat cake sometimes, but only to the extend when I'm pround. Of course I try not to eat to much :D A trick when I'm hungry for sweets, is that a go look at a website who sells leotards, to see what "prize" I'm gonna buy myself.


Cakes and leotards,
- Me <3

Smile

I love listening to Laurie Berker's childrens songs. One of my favorites is "Smile", and today, when  I heard it it made me write a little poem inspired by it.

SMILE

I know a very special boy,

When I'm with him he fills my heart with joy,

And he make me smile,

He makes me smile.

You are my very special boy,

And I hope I make you smile,

'Cause I love the way you smile,

The way you smile.

I love my very special boy,

When we smile together,

The whole world smiles,

We make it smile.

A bit cheesy, but so what? Hope it made you smile!

Smiles,
- Me<3
