SMILE SAVES THE DAY

Oct

Let us make one point…that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile…Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.” - Mother Teresa

Here I am, just plodding through life amidst chaotic experiences and painful decisions. Nevertheless, I’m still blessed with constant joys coming from my family, friends, co-bloggers and readers who unceasingly never fail to send me messages of support and love.

My long absence in the blogosphere, family and social circle caused anxiety among those who nurtured affection for me. To everyone, I appreciate each loving gestures you give me, they bring kisses of smile to my soul. They brighten up my day and I’m grateful.

My apology for SASHA for a long overdue thankful recognition of her award given to me last July!!!

Let me quote her words from her generous heart :

For those bloggers who inspire others through their words and actions. With a positive attitude, and an uplifting spirit these bloggers make the blogosphere a better place, and encourage others to do the same. This award is for bloggers who rise up to set an example but continue to reach out and support others.

Your award gives me a reason to smile! Speaking of smile, I received an award from RINO just in time before my birthday! Thank you so much Rino!

This post is my overflowing gratitude for my co-bloggers and readers who acknowledge my blog as worthy of their time to stop by in spite of my long absence. I’m passing this award to everyone!

To top of it, a sponsor is willing to pay me a good sum of money by placing his ad here! Oh wow and wow…smile after smile keeps on flowing swiftly over rocks like fresh water.

“Let us all meet with a smile, even when it is difficult to smile…” We just don’t know how much joy we are giving with our smile!

To all of you, you are not aware how much pleasure you are giving me during my sunsets, you are saving my day!

God bless!

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. - Author Unknown

It takes a lot of work from the face to let out a smile, but just think what good smiling can bring to the most important muscle of the body… the heart. - Author Unknown

Hi Ros,

I know you may have felt bad because of something you wished did not happen…but I hope you would keep up that smile and hold on to the friendship more than circumstances that rocked the boat. I may have felt bad also but I’m holding on to that same friendship. I know it isn’t spilled milk yet. It was just a shake that created the froth that makes the whole thing taste better if viewed from a larger perspective.
