The Weekly Smile 03/11/2019 #weeklysmile – painting class
Since moving here I started taking the art classes they offer. I finished my first canvas and it is going to be the 4 seasons. I did summer, now I am in winter and then will be either spring or fall. However they are adding an additional class each month and they will be murals and will be hung throughout the walls here in this high rise building. More chances to paint now. That makes me smile.

Trent’s Rules
What made you smile?
****
Come on, I’m sure you smiled at least once last week. Why don’t you share it? I hope you can join in!
Here is list of “rules” and guiding ideas. If you don’t have time to read it right now, just remember that this is an exercise to spread positivity. Don’t smile about the misfortune of others. Don’t smile in a way to excludes others. Make sure a 12 year old can read it.
And remember, the Smile can be anything, large or small. Nothing, nothing at all is too small for a Smile! Sometimes taking time to notice those small, every day smiles is more important than those once in a lifetime huge ones 🙂
To join in, write a post to share your smile and then leave a comment on this post with a link to your smile. Or, if you prefer, do a pingback to this post (pingback = have a link from your post to this one). You can post any time until next Sunday evening (to be simple, I will say midnight GMT, which is 7 PM Sunday for me). Next week I will compile all of the Smiles and do a separate post of them on Monday morning just before the smile. (I will shoot for around 7 AM EST).
Try to use the hashtag #WeeklySmile when you use Twitter or other social media that uses hashtags. I searched Twitter and found that #weeklysmile had been used only a handful of times back in 2012 and 2013. It hasn’t been used since. So it’s ours! I also registered it on Twubs.
You can use the graphic at the top. It is the official graphic for the event.
Now go out there and find something to smile about! 🙂

“There are days I go in search of the kind, compassionate, loving and beautiful. Despite what we sometimes see on the news, FB and elsewhere, there is much more beauty in the world than ugliness, much more kindness than hate or cruelty. Perhaps we should all have a goal to make at least one person smile every day.”
You know we have to see your painting!!??

Art classes are always fun. I took some at an art school and always enjoyed it. I know classes have become very popular lately. I hope you continue to enjoy painting! 🙂

As long as they supply the teacher and the supplies I intend to be there. My dad was a painter. Instead of taking the one away they added another one. Now we just need to get others to join us. There are only a few of us and this building has 100 apartments surely there must be some other would-be artists.
