In today’s world, I think it’s easy to feel down and depressed, but often we can help pull someone out of a slump or a gloomy day with just a smile. As Emily Dickinson states, a person she encounters might not need a smile, but then again they might. I think it is much better that we smile or say a kind word to someone who might be having a good day already. After all, the worst that will happen is maybe that person will feel even better. For someone who is down, though, that little effort could be life changing. I ask that your mission for today (should you choose to accept itπ) is to be the reason someone smiles today!
They might not need me; but they might. I’ll let my head be just in sight; a smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity.
Emily Dickinson
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
Henri Nouwen

Even a smile is a good deed.

Smiles are everywhere, and smiles can spread. You can smile to someone, and they’ll smile to another person, and it goes on and on and on.

You matter. That smile you shared could be the sun on someoneβs darkest day.π
