a LOT

about smiling and shining my light.

i believe.

yes, i believe in the positive act 

of smiling.

i am sure it makes a difference 

to others.

and more importantly

to myself.

when i smile.

it doesn't mean i am a polly-anna

sunshine all the time girl,

ya know?

it means

that i have CHOSEN to

put the things that hurt and are painful

on the back shelf

and am holding

tightly to that smile.
that the good
outweighs the bad;
that we have many blessings
and many reasons

to smile!

a smile

not only makes 

others feel better

but, it makes YOU

feel better.

in the grocery store,

or on your many errands

or at work.

i KNOW

it will light up someone

else's world

today!
