Every Friday when I was a kid, my mom packed my school lunch in a white lunch back with a smiley face that read HAVE A HAPPY DAY.

She found them when I was in eighth grade — and purchased a large enough supply to last for every single Friday through high school. She never ran out!

I find that the sweetest thing! And to this day, on Fridays, every single Friday, I think of my mom and those happy face lunch bags, and I smile and remember: Have a happy day!

So today is the last Friday of this month’s practice of BEing. And I wanted to celebrate my mom. This photograph of this gorgeous sunflower reminds me of that smiley face.
