I’ve always wondered why people are so stingy with their smiles.

They don’t cost anything. In fact, they’re free! So, tell me – what possibly could go wrong in this scenario?

And yet, how readily we avert our eyes – cautious to give our happiness away.

But, happiness is never depleted by sharing. Rather, it grows knowing it has served its purpose.

With puffed chest, it gathers strength and the will to offer its heart again.

With just a simple, our world is made so much brighter.

With just a simple smile, we lend hope to all.

My darlings, just for today – offer your smile in service. Share its bountiful energy with all and everyone you meet.

Namaste.
