The Weekly Smile 8/12/2019 #weeklysmile – Cooler weather helps my breathing
The temperatures have been cooler the last couple days which make going outside easier to deal with and easier to breathe. Another smile is they currently have the elevators working. One would be good (we have two), but the last few days both have been down at once. Once I was stuck downstairs and once I was stuck upstairs and needed to get out. I can’t climb up and down the stairs. It has been hard to find smiles the last week. Fires and stuck elevators in a senior building. Not good.

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.”

Fires and stuck elevators anywhere is not good, and in senior living is doubly bad. Glad the elevators are fixed. It’s been cooler here too, so I know how you feel there – summer is nice, but comfort is better 😉

Both elevators have been stuck twice now. First I couldn’t get up to my apartment and then the next day I couldn’t get down to meet my friend for brunch. We ended up going on Monday instead. They need major over-hauling. The fire happened before our fire drill. Guess we don’t need the drill.

I guess I shouldn’t complain about mid 80’s to mid 90’s.
