Smile Through The Pain
***November 13, 2021***
I woke up on Thursday morning with a positive feeling, not in the wrong bed thankfully. It was as positive as the weather. And as I opened our balcony door, the azure blue sky dotted with white cottony clouds greeted me. They reminded me to clear every black patch of negative thoughts in my mind, forget the weary yesterday, and just focus on the day positively. And gladly, I didn't have weird dreams again. In fact, my dream was funny and a special child I met in the past visited me in my dream. I wonder how she is now. Perhaps a beautiful grown-up girl already. The Autumn is about to end and the ***temperature*** is falling significantly day by day as the year approaches the winter season. Every morning, its cold breeze always sends chills to my frame that make me quiver. I am hesitant sometimes to touch the water in washing my face in the morning. It makes my skin dry. And a lot of moisturizers are truly needed this season. Fortunately, at night, the heater in my comfort room is available to enjoy my bathing without shivering. But hoping out of the shower is another problem, lol. This temperature could really make us feel not to do anything other than just coil under your quilt while hugging our soft pillow. Just sleep or binge-listening soft acoustic music with a headset on or binge-watching our favorite movies. Dang! That's what I truly wanted to do, seriously, at the moment of writing this.
It's not that I want to procrastinate, I just want to relax and lay down on my bed the whole day and would only get up once the food is served on the table. What a life! Of a lazy person, lol. Who doesn't like to take a break from bustling and hustling anyway? We all need to. At the end of the day, we would wait for the beautiful sunset to make ***stunning*** scenery in the darkest hours. And let it calm our tired body and soul. Isn't it stunning? This was taken last Wednesday at around 6 in the evening while waiting for the dinner to be served. Our kitchen really has a perfect spot to take a perfect shot of the setting sun. The beauty of the night was as perfect as the next day's weather.
And after dinner, we would go back to slumber under our soft thick quilt and embrace our comfy pillow. Continue listening to soft music until our mind gets ***blank***. That would be the time that the string of night pulled our sleeping soul into the dreamland, safe and sound. They said that the last time we thought before sleeping might appear in our dreams. So if we are anxious before we hit the sack, we would likely dream something weird just like what happened to me these past few nights. So better clear our mind of weary thoughts and fill them with something positive before drifting off to sleep so our dreams would be as beautiful as the sky at night. The next day would be beautiful as well and we could fill our minds with new happy thoughts and memories. In that way, we wouldn't feel heavy and anxious even if we meet the ***dealer*** of our monthly bills once we open our door in the morning, lol. Just greet him good morning and smile at him even though we want to scratch our head because the figures on the bills are a pain in the ass. However, a simple smile in the morning could make our whole day positive. And it's more overwhelming if we could be the dealer of smiles and happiness to other people. The feeling when you make someone smile or happy is different and unexplainable. Something beautiful in our hearts that we could call a sweet achievement. And that simple smile and happiness we give to others could also ease the ***pain*** we are feeling. Isn't it relieving when we smile or laugh when feeling pain? Undoubtedly, it is. Sometimes when I am in pain or feeling weary, this young Chinese lady at home would joke at me and would cheer me up. The feeling is calming when she successfully makes me smile or laugh. We also feel lighter when seeing other people's smiles or hearing their laughter. Those curves on their lips are calming to our eyes and the sounds of their laughter are soothing to our ears. Undeniably, smile and laughter are the best medicine as the adage said.

That's the best thing we could do to alleviate our pain and lessen our heavy feelings, divert our negative thoughts, and forget about people and things causing pain and suffering." -Jane* And it is worth noting that a simple smile in the morning could make our whole day positive. ***SO SMILE BEAUTIFUL READCASHERS*** π After several days of feeling weary and just pushing myself to smile in front of other people inside and outside this digital world, I could say that I am now feeling better, except with my eyes, as the strains are still on and off despite taking a longer break from using the phone. Maybe I need a whole day's break which is quite tough to make, *sigh*.

I caught a cold a few days ago and I don't feel very well but smile is a really good medicine when we don't feel well. I try to think positively and I am laughing with my children all the time so that the pain passes. You're right.
Laughing with kids are better π
We all deserve a break from a busy life I'm going to take your suggestions, my headset is connected, I will focus on Ed Sheeran's new album, "=". When I'm satisfied, I will make a nice meal and sit down to binge on a relaxing movie. Ryan Reynolds has done it again with " Red Notice", I saw it last night but I'm not yet satisfied, you should check it out, I recommend it. No matter how hard things get, we should always have a reason to smile.
I saw that too.. But didn't watch yet..ill gonna watch tomorrow
Ang sweet din ng boss mo hehe. Chini-cheer ka nya. Beautiful photos, by the way, sis! Keep smiling!
Hndi si boss.. Yung anak π.. Thanks
Smile through the pain. A typical Filipino quality. Even when we are bombarded with tons of problems and challenges, even when we are caught up with bills and payments and our salaries are just enough, even when we are hit by the typhoon, even when our houses and properties are eaten by a huge fire, we still smile. Wesmile through the pain. We are resilient.
True.. Numero uno tyo jan.. Kht naghihirap na smile parn hehe
One thing about staying happy or smiling no matter what life brings to your door gives you an edge over everything even though you k ow deep down that things are not right. We don't experience winter here but we still experience very cold weather during this time of the year. It is not usually easy working at the farm during this period due to the cold but I am happy doing it and that alone gives me the strength to carry on.
Oh.. Just take care of yourself.. Get some warmth if you feel cold.
Change na kase ng weather kaya minsan masama na ang mga pakiramdam ,ingat lang palagi ,keep smiling also its best medicine
Thanks
Kaya proud to be pinoy ako palagi..nahihirapan na pero nagagawa pa ding ngumiti..diba?kaya yung iba hindi natin alam na sa kabila ng ngiti matindi na pala ang pinagdadaanan sa buhay, matindi na pala ang dala dalang sakit...
True . kc ayaw malaman ng iba ang pinagdadaanan kya smile nlng
It's good to hear that you're feeling better now ate. Soon even the eye strain will be gone.
Thanks . hope my arm pain too π€£
One of those lazy days is what I need now, hehe. And I'm smiling now by the way. :) Happy weekend!
Nice to know that π
It is good that you are feeling better now dear madam. I also like playing soft music every night to get me to sleep
Thanks
It's really good to smile to ease our heart pain and any kind of heavy mind that we have You could have show us the full face smile now sis Jane Anyways it's good to see your pretty smile under your fingers
As the song says. Smile though your heart is aching π€
Hays ang ganda talaga ng mga kuha mo dyan ate. Nagagandahan ako sa mga nagtatayugang buildings tapos yung sunset pa. π₯Ί Someday makakapunta din po ako dyan huhue btw opo. Nginingiti ko nalang lahat kahit minsan eh sobrang sakit na din magisip ng mga problema sa buhay ang hirap kasi talagang maging mahirap. Btw ate sorry oo if now lang po ako ulit nakakabasa sainyo alam nyo naman po yung stado ng phone ko now babawi po ako ng paunti unti sainyo . π₯Ίπ
Hehe.. Batang to. Nkabili knb ng new?
As smile is the best choice for now then smile. Let convince our self were okay and fine. Let's dive the rain of joy through smile. Hehe..
Kanta b yan? π
If I can't firce myself to smile, I'll just cheat myself by reading wholesome mangas, watching wholesome videos, or listen to songs with positive vibes. Then, I'll just smile or even laugh so hard without realizing it.
Sometimes it's the best way to fool ourselves.. To just smile. Haha
Always Wear a Smile Everyday to Spread Positivity.
I love the grin in your face, looks beautiful with that... Even in the midst of pain, we should always create happiness for ourselves. We cannot continue to live in sorrow always. Yeah , we might be faced with situations that will make us want to will seems unending, it's better to take our minds off it , then feel ourselves with positive vibe . Always good laugh, infact it very good for our health according to my research.
Thanks. Without any research.. It is really good π
ganyan dapat, happy lang, wag tayo papadala sa mga problema. No matter what life brings to us, we all can overcome those challenges if we just keep the positive energy inside us. hehe ate pasingit saglit haha, kasi everytime na nakikita ko yang building na yan sa mga photos mo, di ko talaga maiwasang mapatitig, maganda yung structural design niya pero ewan ko ba dito sa sarili ko masyadong makulit yung mata ko, kasi yung windows hindi align HAHAHA
Saan banda? π napatitig tuloy ako haha.. Kc naman tagilid yang kuha.. Beverly Hills pla yan.. Name plng. Lams na . haha
It takes just 43 muscles to smile, and 72 to frown. From here you know what to choose to do.π
Oh thanks doc.. So i'll smile more. Haha
Filipino ngang tunay. Yung kahit ang hirap2 na ng sitwasyon, nagagawa paring ngumiti at tumawa. Anyways, okay napo ba yung mata nyo ate Jane?
Not so π’
Stunning sunset you took with the city lights ! Out if curiosity what temperature does it get down to in winter? Smiling and laughter is the best food for our souls.
The lowest last year was 8.1.. I know it's not the lowest in your place π .. But it's already cold for me.. Haha.. You know I'm from a tropical country haha
How many times will you make me fall in love with your photography skills dear?
I don't know π
A simple smile can save your day and turn it positive in an instant. Now with the mouth guard it's hard to smile and be noticed ahah. π
π€£ mouth guard.
Sometimes we used our smile to cover what really felt para hindi mag alala yung ibang tao sa atin ,and they said that smile also is the prettiest thing we can wear ,kaya smile lang tayo πAnyways ang ganda ng mga kuha maamπ
Thanks
It easier said than done, but it does work
I think I've even heard it before that anyone that keeps smiling would age slowly on the face. We should learn how to smile most of the time, our smiles go a long way for our benefit, not only even us, some other people feel relaxed when they see you smile. So, let your smile be a blessing to others
I guess that is proven. And those who seldom smile age faster. I guess I look old now π π€
I always say happiness is a choice. Today I had a bad day, was pissed off half of the day but then decided to get over that. The sunset looks like a painting, it's wonderful.
Smile even though the day is tough π Thanks
