"Be The Reason Someone Smiles." ~Roy T. Bennett

Girl-and-laughing-camel-2

One smile has the power to…

Calm fears.

Soften stone walls.

Warm a cold heart.

Invite a new friend.

Mimic a loving hug.

Beautify the bearer.

Lighten heavy loads.

Promote good deeds.

Brighten a gloomy day.

Comfort a grieving spirit.

Offer hope to the forlorn.

Send a message of caring.

Lift the downtrodden soul.

Patch up invisible wounds.

Weaken the hold of misery.

Act as medicine for suffering.

Attract the companionship of angels.

Fulfill the human need for recognition.

Who knew changing the world would prove so simple?

~ Richelle E. Goodrich

 

You're the reason!  A caregiver's smile lights up the darkest of nights.

    Liz, what a gift for us here, down under, as we grieve the senseless and horrific act of violent death of our brother and sisters who were enjoying a Saturday afternoon shopping and outing when a man who was not well attacked.
    We certainly need to smile more often.

    I was and am so saddened to learn of such a tragedy, Maureen. My heart goes out to you and all the families who are grieving the loss of their precious loved ones in such a senseless act of violence. Words are so inadequate, so hollow sounding… but i send my deepest condolences…
