Just One Smile

*Smile

As the morning sun peeks through the window, its warm rays gently caress your face, coaxing you awake. You slowly open your eyes and a smile forms on your lips as you realize that you have been given another day of life. The soft sheets and comfortable pillows surround you, offering a sense of peace and security. As you stretch your limbs and take in a deep breath, you feel grateful for the simple but precious gift of waking up. And even though there is no one else in the room, you can't help but smile at the thought of all the possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead.

Because while someone may not have woken up today, you did - and that is something to be celebrated. As you start your day, remember to spread that joy and gratitude by sharing a smile with those around you, because for some people, this morning may be filled with sorrow and loss. But for you, it is a chance to embrace life and make each moment count. Everyone who is dear to you woke up – Wow! It’s a great day, isn’t it? Then go out and take a look at the trees. They didn’t die last night either.

You may think this is ridiculous, but you will know the reality of it when someone dear to you doesn’t wake up. Don’t wait till then to realize the value of it. It is not something ridiculous, this is the most valuable thing – that you are alive and everything that matters to you is alive. When on this disastrous night so many people did not wake up and the loved ones of so many others did not wake up, you and your loved ones woke up. Isn’t it a fantastic event? Appreciate it and smile at least. Learn to look at a few people lovingly.

Lastly, May Good Things Come in Your Life.
