Smile at a Stranger.

Goldfinch60



We go through each day in our own world,

Sometimes it could be better

But we are here and that is always good.

We can see the good inside us

As long as we head towards the light,

The light that is always there in our lives.

 

There are people whose life may be in darkness

And they can be helped.

So when you go out today

Give a stranger one of your smiles,

It might be the only sunshine they see all day.

                  Beautiful message, goldfinch! While waiting for boarding the plane, a young women beside me sneezed and I said "Bless you my child". (I always wanted to say that) You should have seen the reaction. She turned, probably expecting a priest, and a gave me a big smile.
                  Yes, smiling works all the time.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    It surely does Fred, it is so meaningful and so easy to do. It probably made that young woman and your day.
