The Smile In Your Pocket


Our normal day-to-day existence can sometime feel so ordinary and mundane – yesterday, deep in a serious contemplation lining up for a chamomile tea a young girl gave me a beautiful smile. And my whole day changed from grey to dazzling. What a difference a smile makes! It is so much easier to rise from challenges when you feel upbeat and positive. Keep things in perspective and remember to give yourself (and everyone else) a lift. I remember what my grandma used to say when she catches me in my low mood: “Girl, there’s a smile in your pocket.” That always made me laugh. Lighten the load, put a smile and feel the difference. Can you imagine if you have so many pockets? Wow!
