Smiling is my Favorite Exercise



Sure, there's obvious things that make us smile...


Like a delicious Greek Yogurt Parfait with
Smart Bran Cereal, Blueberries and Cinnamon


Sometimes you have to visually see the difference a smile can make...


Even if it feels like your the only one who notices!


I often wonder why genuine smiles come at a price nowadays, and why the cashier cannot comprehend my "Can I have a smile with that?" order.


My point is that we've become emotionally deficient,
at least to the people outside of our "comfort zone"

We're too busy, too focused, too angry, too important, too stressed, too independent, too unrelatable, too insignificant, too guarded, too hurt, etc.


Too full of excuses to see the importance in a single smile :)

Action: Smile at random strangers this weekend.
Notice: Do they smile back or blankly stare back at you?
Think: If you've ever received a smile from a stranger passing by, you know the comforting feelings it projects.


That one smile carries with you
 and gets passed along to others... 




But can one smile really make a difference?
I guess it's up to you to find that out.

Tea and Cookies



Gonna make this is quickie...


Grilled Egg n' Pesto Wrap with kale, spinach, mustard and onions


Served on my cute new vintage purchased Farmer Plates...


Today is a total Tea and Cookies Day :)

I think it was Laury's Mylk N' Cookies Post that did me in!!!


 
Happy Friday

Green Cuisine


Green Cuisine, the place i'm always talking about. Ever since
 I worked here a couple years ago, i've become obsessed
 with their homemade vegan food and baked goods.


Each morning they make 3 different muffin choices;  
2 kinds of GF Brown Rice Muffins and 1 Spelt Muffin


Today I had the Spelt Raspberry Goji Chocolate Chip

Moist, hearty, healthy, homemade, lightly sweetened, savory, and ahhhmazing!



Questions: Have you ever worked in a restaurant?
Do you remember your last part-time job?
