Smile!

As I've mentioned, I am terrible about writing on this frequently. I've also noticed, reading through my posts, that many of them are an attempt to explain my erratic and often deep train of thought. Ha. For all I know, I am the only one who understands them!! Tonight's is something simple and fun that has been on my mind a bit lately.

SMILE!

I think it is pretty safe to say there isn't much a smile can't do! :) Having interacted with a bunch of different people, personalities, and situations that seems to be the only constant. When I am down a smile instinctively cheers me up. When others are down one from a friend does the same. It is hard to explain the power and joy a smile carries with it. [I guess the latter part is kind of self-explanitory. Haha]. When I get lost in struggles . . . when I begin to focus on disappointments in myself and others . . . I make a concentrated effort to remember how many reasons I have to smile! They are endless! As I do a smile creeps across my face and I am blessed with strength. Keep an eye on me if you're with me when I may struggle. I'm sure it is pretty comical. Haha.

I am so unbelievably blessed! I have the best family, related and not, in the world! Love them so dearly and can't help but smile just thinking about them! I have been fortunate enough to have been given so many opportunities and talents to bless my life and the lives of those around me. Again, smiles! :) I am surrounded by the GREATEST friends anyone could possibly ask for. The greatness with which I am surrounded constantly amazes me! Smiles, smiles, smiles. =D

There is ALWAYS reason to smile, however hard it may be to see at times. Next time the going gets rough, get smiling! [I may have changed that quote a bit. Ha]. I love smilling, and love nothing more than seeing people smile. It is beautiful! =D

They showed me this at the MTC and it is FANTASTIC! =D

Do it!! Smile! The world is a wonderful place made better when everyone is smiling! LOVE IT!
