I’m not going to lie. Past 24-48 hrs didn’t feel great. Tomorrow until about mid October, I have 2 conferences to present short papers in, a week long seminar/workshop and preaching once. Well, maybe that isn’t so bad. But yesterday morning until now, it felt like an insurmountable amount of overwhelming tasks before me. But a practical stranger, someone I have not really met, but has seen a picture in which I have a radiant smile on my face, reminded me to keep smiling today because my smile shows God’s love in me. I’m like, wa, wa, wa, what?
So I decided to put on my happy face today and be happy today. I don’t know how to do this. I am going to start by smiling and to keep smiling as much as I can throughout the day today. And I am going to start by being thankful for things that are going well and things that I appreciate in my life. And I am going to also think positive and good thoughts today. So yes, today is and will be a happy day, because I put on my happy face!
