I haven't been doing much smiling lately. Quite the opposite really. I even wondered if I would ever smile again the other week, when all I seemed to do was blub.
But in order to feel alive and glad to be on this planet, you need to smile sometimes. It is very hard to ignore a smile when someone is smiling at you. Its infectious - you have to smile back.
It's the little things that make me smile.
While on holiday recently several people were really kind. They suprised me with their kindness. They were complete strangers but were happy to help me. They made me smile on the inside.
A sunny day makes me smile. Someone buying me a present unexpectedlyand surprising me, no matter how little it cost, makes me smile. Hugs make me smile.
Realising I have friends who care about me makes me smile too. Friends who seem to know when to text just at the right moment to remind me they are thinking of me, worrying and caring. Supporting and loving me, just as I am. Walking beside me.
I guess life is too short to be sad all the time.
