- Welcome to the 9th Day of Crown of Smiles – Your smiley cup of smilence moments
I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s blog
Remember that each day you have to get into the habit of:-
- Putting on your Crown of Smiles
- Spend 5 minutes for your Smilence Moments each day
- Put your box of Smilence in a prominent place or take it around you as a way to boost your Smilence level
Shrove Tuesday (known in some countries as Pancake Tuesday) is a day in February or March preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent), which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes
Today’s Task ( Day 9) Share your smiley face pancakes with someone!
You can make your own pancakes or buy then, then decorate to make a smiley face and then share some with your friends and families as you enjoy your “smilence” moment eating the pancake.
7 Fun facts about pancake day!
