How To Smile
More Smiles Now Than Ever

You know, I older I get, the more things I find to smile about.
Strange? Not really. Age has taught me that most things can bring a smile. Maybe it's something silly, that when I was younger, would mean nothing to me. Like the sun rising behind my house every morning. How beautiful! Frown? Of course not. It makes me feel warm and brings out a smile.
A child crying in the grocery store. I smile now because I remember when I was that mother. I realize now that my child is grown and I realize that wasn't the worst thing in the world.
Watching the squirrels play on my deck make me smile.
A phone call from a friend I haven't heard from for years, I smile.
I smile about a lot of things and happenings.
But the one thing that makes me smile the most is God's love.

Hi Phyllis!
It is the best when the smallest thing can make you smile. Could it be that you are simply seeing God's Love in each of these things and this makes you smile?
I believe that being spiritual and believing in God's Love truly helps one find reasons to smile!
