In the words of a great woman:

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. – Mother Teresa

So in the spirit of grateful April I have decided to smile MORE often each day. I am sure there are plenty more things I can smile at each day and I intend to challenge myself to do just that – smile at the sunshine, smile at the beautiful sky, Mandy Holloway smile and say hello to people as I enter a lift with them, smile at the person I walk past in the supermarket, smile at my puppy as he sits on the top step with the wind blowing his fluffy coat……….there is just so much to smile about and I intend to exercise those facial muscles with far greater regularity.

Sometimes the smile is for me to feel grateful inside and sometimes it is an action of love for another person or animal – I think both are important.
