Smile….
at the world and the world will smile back at you…not
always true, but encouraging. There are such a lot of mean, mean, mean human
beings out there in the world, that they are so unhappy within themselves they
cannot bear to say a good thing about anything or anybody…how sad is that.
Joseph Addison quoted:
‘ What
sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be
sure; but scattered along life’s
pathway, the good they do is inconceivable’
It has been a long time since I updated my blog, but I one
excuse I have is to blame the flu,
which knocked me for a six. Then the news that I was diabetic…I was pushing
myself - always feeling so tired and thought it was just old age…during all these
dark days I did not feel like smiling. Just felt sorry for myself, then suddenly it dawned on me there are millions out there who are far worse off then a
pathetic little crafter feeling sorry for herself and I started to smile again!
Once one understands the good a
smile does for a fellow human being, it
uplifts ones spirit and one starts to develop a true appreciation for that
which is good and noble in others and move away from the ‘me’.
People start reacting positive
when a positive smile radiates from within, and to those who keep on criticise
for every penny its worth…I shrug you off and carry on smiling!
I look at some lovely embroidery done by my crafter sister Clarissa Rudd who is a wonder when it comes to handling a needle and just have to have a smile in my heart when I look at her lovely handwork and just hope it will reach the inside of people who have a love of the needle art and can share it with a smile in their heart♥
and remember, no matter what life throws at you,
SMILE and you may just lighten someone's day / life♥
