which reminds me again of the poem I carry with me since my school days
A smile
A smile costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive
without making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment,
but the memory of it can last forever.
None is so rich and mighty
that he can get along without it,
and none is so poor but that
he can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,
fosters good will in business,
and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,
cheer to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad,
and is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged,
borrowed or stolen.
For it is something that is of no
value to anyone until given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours,
as none needs a smile so much as
he who has no more to give.
Though there a times I forget about it I usually make it my habit to give a smile to at least one stranger on the street completely out of the blue and I love every day my smile helps to turn an earnest expression into a beaming smile! It is so simple to improve other people's day :-)
I love to pass someone on the street smile at him/her and think " May you have a wonderful day today!" or something like that....
And each time I see the expression in someone else's face light up it is a joy day for me :-)
May you all have a wonderful day today !! And here is a smile for all of you
