#kindness2020
 |
| Good Morning Michael Shinafelt |
Whilst making my morning tea I got myself on Twitter and saw this trending: #kindness2020
It's the perfect message at the perfect time. Right now we are being completely abused by a malignant tyrant who gaslights, name calls and lies. What better way to counteract all this by being as kind to everyone you can during his final days in charge.
While this is something I practice daily, it never hurts to be reminded how a little kindness goes a long way. My personal favorite is to smile at people as I walk past them. What's that you say? We are wearing masks who can see you smile you say? Wrong! Others can see your smile in your eyes and your cheeks do rise up when you do it and they aren't covered. So don't lay that malarkey on me.
In all actual fact I think a comforting smile has become even more powerful during these times because all the focus is on the person's eyes when you exchange a grin with one another. Eye contact of that type has a very healing power, it can really make someone's day!
So smile your day away, it will make you and others feel good, and it costs you nothing 😄

"Smile"
 |
| "Smile" Katy Perry |
"Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a whileBut now I got back that smile (Smile)" - Smile, Katy Perry
Katy Perry released a new single this week titled "Smile" about the power of perseverance. It seems like the anthem we could all use at present.
Not to mention the whimsical photo above with Katy dressed as a clown for our amusement.
Thus today, think of something that makes you smile, and focus on it. Trust me it is something that will make your day a little more brighter.
Remember tough times don't last, tough people do...

Bang A Pot & Give A Yell!
 |
| Clan, Clang, Clang Went The Pot... Sarah Silverman |
What a great way to boost morale in the hard hit city. Above we see Sarah Silverman enthusiastically joining her fellow New Yorkers in the much deserved recognition.
Thus I leave you with this notion, try to do something every day that helps put a smile on you and other peoples faces. Trust me it is amazing. The few times I venture out during the week I always smile at people as I pass them on the street or shop side by side with them for groceries.
It's a simple yet powerful thing to do.
Keep on keeping minions!

Monday Motivation
 |
| Seeing Red Meghan Markle & Prince Harry |
Because, let's face it, life is tough, that's just the way it is. These two are going trough their emancipation from the Royal Family at present and publicly so they are pretty much a unifying symbol of that.
Yet, those matching vibrant red ensembles are enough to put a smile on anyone's face 😀
Perseverance is the word for this Monday. Everyone of us has the strength to deal with life's adversities.
So put on your personal "vibrant red" and go out into the world and seize the day!

Friday Fun!
 |
| Never Worn White Katy Perry |
With all the intense things going on in the world, I thought we all deserved to take some time out!
"Yes" its time for celebrity news that is fun and will bring a smile to your face 😊 If not, at least it will not agitate you.
Thus the biggest celeb news happening is Katy Perry revealing via the video for her latest ditty Never Worn White that she is pregnant by husband to be, Orlando Bloom. Can I get an Awwwwwwww...? I thought I could.
Perry is relieved the secret, until now, bun in the oven is out, as she is reportedly tired of sucking in her gut. OK, obviously I am not a woman and will never be pregnant, but it seems with a baby on board you really couldn't suck in your gut, but who knows, I could be wrong, and most likely am???
Anyway, Katy Perry announced the happy event in true, well, Katy Perry style by revealing her bump in the video to the world. Now that's a birth announcement!
Good one Perry! Congrats to the happy couple! See the big reveal after the jump...

Come On Get Happy!
 |
| Happiness Is... Lizzo |
"Hello world, here's a song that we're singin', C'mon get happy, A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin', We'll make you happy" - Come On Get Happy, The Partridge Family
Today I am channeling Lizzo celebrating her sister's Birthday from the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! I was there just two weeks ago and had a grand time, and "Yes" like Lizzo, I got happy!
With all the strife going on in the world around us, please remember to do the one thing that counts most, make yourself and others smile, everyone, smiles.
It doesn't cost a thing and it feels good for all parties involved. Lizzo personally makes me smile every time I see her do anything. Thus I hereby decree Lizzo the mascot for getting happy.
Enjoy your day 100% minions...!

Monday Motivation

| Your Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile Michael Shinafelt |
"Make a difference today just by smiling. Wake up with a smile, make someone else smile, and smile before you lay down tonight! Have a happy and positive day!"
In case you haven't put the pieces together today's Monday Motivation is to smile. Honestly it's been a rough go for me of late recovering from surgery with three more weeks left to go. This being stated one of the things that has kept me buoyant is my ability to smile at random people I see out and about.
This makes them and yourself feel good 😃
So let's kick off this week with a goal to smile at everyone you make eye contact with this week. Trust me it isn't that difficult and it's a gift that keeps on giving and it doesn't cost a thing except use of your jaw muscles.
Are you ready mouth? Start smiling....

Once Upon A Time...On Saturday
 |
| Angry Birds??? Leonardo DiCaprio |
Trust me this is not meant to make fun of Leonardo it's to have fun with him. I'm pretty 100% sure he knew he was making this face by the looks of it, I would venture to say he was not caught off guard by some tricky paparazzi.
So it's Saturday a day to chill and not take life too seriously. Perhaps even engaging in the Tomfoolery of making a goofy face in public for no other reason than to put a smile on your face and others.
You only have one life after all, lighten up bitches.
Mic Drop!

Monday Motivation

| Don't Be Tardy For The Party Alice in Wonderland |
This is one of those Mondays that I am not sure what could Motivate me. I'm kind of feeling somewhat like I fell down a rabbit hole. Thus today's MM is fantasy, we all need an escape from time to time and what better way to life our spirits and make us smile than some good old fashioned escapism of the mind.
What came to my mind today is already obvious, or it should be given the image accompanying this post. Alice in Wonderland is the rabbit hole I fell down when I woke-up this ayem feeling like Grumpy Cat, because I am in pain am having surgery for it today.
Thus while I am getting my toe broken and reset I will be hanging with Alice and the denizens of Wonderland in the corners of my mind.
So, what tickles your fantasy fancy today? Inquiring minds want to know...

You're A Shining Star
 |
| Smile Everyone, Smiles Anne Hathaway |
The Oscar Winning actress for Les Miserables, certainly has a great body of work that has earned her the honor.
But in all honesty what compelled me to do a post on this today was the infectious smile she had while being immortalized on Hollywood Blvd.
"Yes" her smile is what's making me happy this morning, Friday May 10th 2019. It's the most sincere thing I have seen all week.
Thanks Anne for a lovely kick off to the day ahead, your mega watt smile is one of the many reasons you're a shining star. So bend it like Anne today minions, like I know you can.
Go get em'!!!

Fugly Christmas Sweater Friday
 |
| The Horror Miley Cyrus |
It's that time of year where the apparel people don is in questionable taste especially when in comes to sweaters.
Witness Miley Cyrus in an odd little number that features a graphic of Santa covering his face in what looks like horror. It's like a Christmas/Halloween hybrid or something, what that truly is I have not a clue. Oh, and don't pretend you do either, got it?
Miley has a plethora of Fugly Christmas Sweaters of the season to choose from, it's like her own tradition during this festive time of year. My reasons for choosing this one is the actual image of her and her dog radiates warmth and cheer. Translation: It made me smile and the canine helped off set the hideous sweater.
So break out whatever it is you imbibe in and raise a glass of cheer! Only four more days, yikes!!!

Hump Day & Chill
 |
| Your Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile Alexander L.M. |
Ladies & Gentlemen I present to you Alexander L.M. Perhaps it is his killer smile that lures me in? Or maybe it's because he's bringing sexy back to all of us guys who are older and wiser. Then there is always the fact that he is just perfectly who he is in every way.
Whatever appeals to my nether regions he is sex on a stick, like me. Oh, and he isn't afraid to "go there" and express himself...naked, full frontal, all the way baby! And "yes" Alexander is going to poke your eye out if you get my drift (and I think you do.)
So today I present to you via Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things an Alexander with a view at the NSFW link below. No need to thank me you can just...fluff up your pillow and dream that you are Hump Day & Chill with him - I know I will.
Here's the link, click on it and click on it now!!!

Just Because...Barack & Melania
 |
| Did You Hear The One About 45??? Melania Trump & Barack Obama |
Just Because it's Earth Day, Just Because of good vibes only & Just Because smiling is contagious. Here is the image that has set the Internet a buzz, Barack Obama & Melania Trump sitting next to each other at former First Lady Barbara Bush's funeral.
This is the happiest one has seen the current "First Lady" publicly in a looooooong time. I guess it took a funeral for that to happen. OK, you get what I mean by that, I hope.
Suffice it to say my main reason for posting this is it made me smile. It is a quite charming image that was very unexpected. "Yes" I like to be disarmed in positive ways.
Which begs the question what did Obama say to her to put such a genuine look of happiness on the always stoic Mrs. Trump's face?
Start the speculation flying by filling in your own blank here _________ ....
Go green, or go home - Happy Earth Day!

Ph-Ph-Ph Photobomb!
 |
| Dropping Bombs Emma Stone & Jennifer Lawrence |
Whose bombing who? Well it's none other than Jennifer Lawrence dropping the bomb on her friend Emma Stone at the Governor's Awards in Los Angeles.
Hello? What's that you say? Who, what, why are the Governor's Awards? Honestly I don't know. I suppose I could Google it and find out, but nah, it really doesn't matter to me. If it does to you feel free to let your fingers do the walking.
Frankly all I care about is this fun image of two friends and the only kind of bomb one should drop.
Got it? Smile it's Monday minions!
