“Our work-a-day lives are filled with opportunities to bless others. The power of a single glance or an encouraging smile must never be underestimated.”
----G. Richard Rieger 
Gratitude is a great reminder to me to always count my blessings. Life presents challenging circumstances almost every day. It is easy to lose sight of the good things happening around us because we are consumed with the negative. Feeling gratitude is an important practice that I bring into my daily practice.
Feel grateful for all that surrounds you, grateful for the gifts that life gives you and grateful for your awareness. You are alive and here on this planet and that is something to feel good about.
Smiling and laughing can have a positive effect on your well-being. We could all do with a bit of cheering up every now and then, So give a gift that is worth more than money --Smiling – What a wonderful word and what a wonderful action to take.
All the research in the world cannot define the warmth of a smile. With smiles, your days will become lighter, more joyous and more bearable even on those hay wired days. A smile is so simple yet so powerful. It takes but a moment but the memory of it lasts forever. It does not cost us anything – Think of it this way it is a small gift you are giving.
Did you know, a smile is one of the strongest communication tools, and many spend their entire lives not knowing how to properly use it. Does this include you? By practicing this one simple gesture, you can improve your communication skills, and begin helping others around you feel joy, happiness, and accepted
"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
~Thich Nhat Hanh
