Hello everyone

I desired to send my warm wishes your way... and to share with you one beautiful mention. Busy, I have been... although within that business, so much beauty exists. One of my patients and dear acquaintances I have become close with gave me these beautiful words in which to always remember and act upon. (Which has been my personal motto for so many years) Upon entering his room (Robert is his name), there is a sign that states... "Smile". Robert is 72 and has cancer, his spirit for life continues with happiness, positivity, inner-strength and profound appreciation for life... as well as with death. Everyday my soul is truly blessed/touched by endless amount of people from all over the world... here, at work, school, in life... everywhere. (((beautiful sigh))) Each day I truly use the power of smiling, within all I do. Yes, there are times when a "smile" can be difficult to feel when you see/feel suffering, saddness and despair... I find the power within to continue... and I am continuously reminded time-and-time again how powerful/lasting a smile truly cam be and is.

I am feeling extremely grateful and wanted to send my endless amount of "thank you(s)" to many here that continue to touch my heart. (((beautiful smile)))

Thank you...

~Remember how valuable a "Smile" truly is, so simple in motion, yet profound in how it affects literally the entire world, every blessed and beautiful day "we" exist.

My life is truly blessed in so many wonderful/beautiful ways.



Smile

It costs nothing, but creates much.

It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.

It happens in a flash, and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None are so rich they can get along without it, and none so poor, but are richer for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friends.

It is the rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that has no earthly good to anybody 'til it is given away.

Should someone be too tired to give you a smile, may we ask you, leave one of yours?

For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give.

Here's mine to you... (hug)



Love,
Julie

Yes, I know... This has been my motto for years. It is truly amazing how people react to something so simple..

I think people look beeter when they smile unless the grill is jacked up then I would expect you not to smile.

I always have people tell me that I need to smile because I always look like I'm mad at the world.

Thanks

Nice thread..


the value of a smile, indeed, is priceless.

&
it made me think of 1 of my favorite songs by Stevie Wonder..
called, appropriately enough, "Smile Please"


A smiling face is on earth like star
A frown can't bring out the beauty that you are
Love within and you'll begin smiling...
There're brighter days ahead

Don't mess your face up with better tears
'Cause life is gonna be what it is
It's okay, please don't delay from smiling...
There're brighter days ahead

A smiling face you don't have to see
'Cause it's as joyful as a Christmas tree
Love within and you'll begin smiling...
There're brighter days ahead

Love's not competing it's on your side
You're in life picture so why must you cry
So for a friend please begin to smile - Please
There're brighter days ahead

Thank you. Such a lovely thread. Wish we could see some more positivity like this.
