everyone i met today talked about the weather and road conditions ... after all this is Canada and weather is our favourite topic ... some folks looked pretty tired, so i tried to lighten their burden with a smile ... to look directly into their eyes and just grin ... i received smile after smile in return ...
i have a confession to make ... drum roll, big secret being revealed ... i smile a lot ... there, it feels so good to get that off my chest!
we moved often when i was young, and i was the new kid in school for all of my adolescent years ... so i learned early that a smile opens hearts and doors ... it is easier to make friends when you smile ...
of course i don't feel like smiling every day ... life can be difficult, problems do arise ... but if i make it a habit to smile anyway, it can dispel some of the gloom ...
just like my blog ... i hope it makes you smile ... brightens your day ... and even on the days when i have a sad post - i try to throw some humour into the mix ...
smiling is a part of who i am ... Christ lives within me ... i know that i will one day be with Him ... i have every reason to smile ...
