who dares to be silly,
no matter what.
Part of her everyday
make-up is her smile! ♥

Awesome pic and haiku Lauren. I think I follow the recommendation quite often 🙂
Thanks, Scott, and I’m glad you do! There’s so much to worry about in life, it’s a relief to put the “silly hat” on whenever we can! 🙂
Love it, Lauren! Too much seriousness, not enough silly fun sometimes. Just to balance the scales a bit 🙂
Thanks so much, George! And yes, we need to balance the scales and have some fun once in a while! 🙂
Lauren, this is absolutely terrific! Your daughter and mine would get on very well! Xx❤ xX

It’s wonderful to feel joy from your children.

As one of the queens of silly, I heartily concur!!! And I love the new header, Lauren!!
I’m happy you do allow “silly” to enter your life, occasionally, Sis, and thank you so much! My son took the photo and that is my daughter’s life motto. I’m glad I thought to put the two together, ‘cuz I love it, too! xoxo
Gotta love these timely wise words!!! When exactly did we lose that other side of us? Adulthood is so overrated, LOL Lighten up, be silly, play, have fun … life happens (however we allow/choose it to) Great poem Lauren!
I agree with adulthood being overrated! 🙂 Thanks so much, Purple, and I’m glad you wholeheartedly agree!

“Part of her make-up is smile”–I like that! Here, there is a belief that a smiling face hardly gathers wrinkles. You daughter will live long. And thank you for a fabulous poem.
Thank you for making me smile, Uzo, and for your lovely complement!
