What Makes You Smile?

Humor does makes me smile and brighten up my day. Out of nowhere this appears in my feed : "What a boring planet... no fairies, no elves, no mermaids, no dragons, no vampires, no dinosaurs... Just bills, stress, gossip and annoying people." Well, I find this amusing. It's random, a bit absurd but somehow relatable given we have bills to think about, stress is there waiting to be consumed, there were gossips everywhere and annoying people may suddenly show up without an invitation. My point is... There's always a reason to smile even if you had a tiring day in a whole week. So, what makes you smile? PS. I tried to lower the photo quality. Photo was from my archive yr. 2022 Dragonfly, I consider it a real life fairy in the garden. And maybe a dragon with a different shape of head, a big eyes, and a delicate wings. Lol!

Talking with favorite people on myLot always makes me smile. I agree, dragonflies are still dragons of a sort... I like watching them flying around and, sometimes, landing on me.

@Jehanne I definitely agree. Yup! You don't want to scare them away after they land on you... I read a book where the dragonflies were intelligent and sent a spaceship up to the moon. There were humans living there and the dragonflies started eating the people. It was a good book! I wish I could remember the name of the book.

@DaddyEvil that's sound interesting! made me think if people and all creature on earth migrate to moon. Then, one is dragonflies which is intelligent just like that story you've read. People should be prepared. Lol!

It's fun! it's more genuine and honest to talk here. True, they are also kind of a combination of a chopper and a airplane. Oh! once it lands on you, you somewhat tried not to move and breathe

That's such a weird, pessimistic way to see things. We DO have fairies, elves, mermaids, dragons, and vampires, because people have creativity and imagination. That's what makes ME smile.

yes, people creativity and imagination really did makes me smile. Same with that humor though it's weird, pessimistic the random way of thinking I find it really amusing.

Hopefully, the pictures will be fixed soon. My dog makes me smile. So does my family. I don’t see most of them that often, so I love that.

I agree. There’s always a reason to smile. My husband makes me smile and laugh multiple times a day. So do my friends and family as well as some people on myLot. I even smile watching the antics of birds and animals.

totally agree with this. Last night, made me stare at our porch light because there's a particular insect keeps surrounding on it and so many of them. Noticing the little things they do made me smile too.

Right, there's a lot of things that can make us smile, feel amused. It's there always waiting to be noticed, us to be engaged with it.
