"Smile today ... one smile can make miles
and miles of smiles."
~Lisa's Mother
Good
morning!
A while ago I
received a wonderful email that is perfect to share with you as a Good
Morning message.
Lisa wrote, "I was just sending an email out to some friends and
remembered a saying my mom has always said to me since I was really
young and thought I would share it with you. 'Smile today ... one smile
can make miles and miles of smiles.'"
"I remember
thinking about this when I was about 6 - 7 and I actually tried it.
When you smile at a person, they almost always smile back. Even if you
smile at them in passing, their smile usually lasts long enough to
catch at least one other person's attention and the cycle begins again.
I remember thinking that it was quite a powerful yet simple thing, but
it could bring so much happiness into our world."
"My little ones
are in bed now, but I think I just might try to teach them that
tomorrow. I bet my mom will be proud to know that I did listen and even
learned from what she taught. I think that I will also let her know
what I remembered - I bet I make her smile too!"
Thank you for
sending this Lisa. You are right - so simple, yet so profound. After
reading your email I started looking at our subscriber database. We
