Day 2 - Smiling

Today, share a smile with at least three people, knowing that your smile contributes to peace.

Reflection
  • What keeps you from smiling at others? Notice who you do and don’t smile at today.
Action
  • What gets in the way of a smile?
  • Identify someone you would not normally smile at. Write or draw about how your smile can positively impact someone’s day.
