Smile

The last time Shea & I got our hair cut, I walked into the salon and said, "Hi" to our hairdresser, Leesa and gave her a big hug. One of Leesa's co-workers said to me..."Wow, you light up a room with that smile and your sweet attitude!" I bring this up today because again, I had to run into the post office today and someone said, "You are so happy and have a beautiful smile." I almost get embarrassed and think, hmmm...maybe I need to tone it down a bit...but then again...NO WAY! I am thrilled that people see that I have a happy heart and positive attitude. I like to think that God's love shines through me. Yeah, some may call me an eternal optimist...but I am ok with that! For Christmas last year, I framed this song for Shea. It's one of our all time favorites by Nat King Cole.

Smile, tho' your heart is aching,
Smile, even tho' it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by.
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you.
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near...
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile.

If you don't have a smile, I'll give you one of mine.
