WEEK 2 | NOTICE WHAT'S AROUND US | DAY 14
Things That Make You Smile
My pen pal and I have been sending each other postcards for a few years now of lists of things that have recently made us smile. Ever since we started doing this, I began to notice these things more because I'm keeping an eye out for it--I have a running list in my notes app to jot things down. Some of the things we've shared: the smell of cookies baking, seeing a dog running happily at the park, colorful wildflowers along the highway, laughing with a good friend. Today, notice the things that make you smile, what sparks joy and delight, conversations and interactions that fill your cup. Make a mental note of these thing, jot them down, send a postcard to someone (try Postcrossing) with your list and invite them to do the same, and/or let me know! I'd love to include what made us smile today in tomorrow's email so please hit reply if you'd like to share :)

21 EVERY DAYS

Document your smile list (that's what my pen pal and I title our postcards):
  • Write out your list
  • Make simple doodles
  • Create a collage using magazine cut outs (images and/or text)
Or choose a color, material, tool, or technique where the process or results make you smile! For me, the first thing that came up was using crayons--it reminds me of being a kid and the smell and feel of them in my hands is so nostalgic! 

I look forward to hearing what you noticed today!
