Phyllis Diller once said that "A smile is a curve that sets everything straight." I think she was absolutely correct on that one! =-)
As a nervous and new mommy, I remember very clearly the first smile I received from our baby soon after we adopted him - it was at that point that I knew everything was going to be okay and he was happy --- Through the years as we adopted our 2 other children that was always the thing we strived for - smiles from our babies...
It struck me that smiling is such a powerful tool in communicating with those around us - it can serve as a bond between a baby and a parent; reassurances between spouses, friends, parents & children that everything is going to be okay; and it can tell the whole world you're happy about something.
A smile. Very simple to do and yet it is so powerful and has such a huge impact on all around us.
My encouragement today - smile at someone - anyone and just see what happens! =-)
