Put on Your Happy Face Today 😊 | From Behind the Pen

Do you have a reason to smile today? Well honey, if you don’t, now you do. You are alive, and regardless of your circumstances, life begets life.

Since the arrival of the new year, there have been some good and amazing things that occurred, right alongside some obnoxious, incomprehensible, and disturbing occurrences. But as you read this, it is too early in the game to give up and give in to those diabolical distractions. Nope, not today, and tomorrow ain’t lookin’ too good either. And next week is definitely out of the question. So put on your happy face right now if you haven’t already, and do your happy dance right where you are! 😁

Happiness isn’t something you buy or wait for someone to give to you. Happiness is something you possess deep within that exudes outwardly to those who feel it. Happiness conveys gratitude.

Love, Kym

‘No food, no water, no heating’: famine exists in Gaza, say officials

Aid workers ‘strongly suspect’ famine in northern Gaza as UN agencies issue joint plea for entry routes…

Aid officials in Gaza believe that pockets of famine already exist in the territory, with parents sacrificing remaining food for their children, an apple costing $8 (£6.30) and fuel for cooking almost impossible to find.

UN agencies have said that Gaza urgently needs more humanitarian assistance as Palestinian authorities reported that the death toll in the territory during the Israeli offensive there had risen to more than 24,000.

The World Food Programme, Unicef and the World Health Organization said in a joint statement that new entry routes needed to be opened to Gaza, more trucks needed to be allowed in each day, and aid workers and those seeking aid needed to be allowed to move around safely.
