It is said that laughter is good for the soul. I believe that. I think there are wonderful things that happen
to us when we laugh. I think good things
happen to us when we smile, too.
When we find something that makes us smile, it makes us feel
better, if only for a moment or two.
That can lift our spirits and give us a new perspective on the situation
we are facing.
I realized this many years ago when I was going through a
very difficult time. I happened to
glance out the side window as I was driving to work and I saw a rabbit sitting
by the side of the road. It made me
smile. That was a turning point for
me. I knew then that I would survive the
tough time I was facing.
There are so many little things that we can do to make us
smile every day. Pictures of those we
love on our desk can make us smile. (Of
course, we have to remember to look at them throughout the day!) I have a special ringtone on my phone for my
husband. Every time it rings it makes me
smile. I really enjoy nature, so for me
just looking out the window can often make me smile just by seeing something as
silly as a squirrel. Pets can make us
smile, and often make us laugh out loud.
A list of our accomplishments can make us smile when we look at it.
What makes you smile?
What can you do to set the stage for frequent smiles throughout the day?
