The Power of a Smile

I've had a very heavy heart the last few days and feeling unlike myself. My sister and her girls arrived at my place very late last night to stay the weekend with me.

At 4:30 this morning, I awoke to my one year old niece's little face peeking at me over the edge of my bed.

I pulled her up, she laid her tiny head next to mine on my pillow, and smiled.

The healing powers of an innocent, sweet, heart squeezing smile...purple heart

Thank you Smartasss. I had no children of my own, so I've counted on my visits with nieces and nephews to calm my raging hormones. grin
Smiles are contagious....so are yawns. Why do we yawn when we see someone else yawn? laugh

Hope you enjoy your weekend and thank you.

Thank you for sharing that beautiful experience with us. I myself have had that very same thing happen to me when feeling in the depth of despair. A smile can sometimes be what it takes to lift a heavy heart.
I say.... Let's have a 'give a smile away day' and see how we feel at the end of it.
It's a beautiful gift to give and doesn't cost a penny.

So here's a Big smile from me to all you lovely people in here who have made me feel so welcome laugh wave
