Quote of the Week

A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you're at home.
Author Unknown


Just as you aren't likely approach a dark house, you are less likely to approach a frown than a smile.  So what are you saying to people?  Is your light on?

    This is a perfect quote for me today and I liked how you summarized it.

    I will try to remember today to leave the light on in my face:~)

  5. Sara- Thanks. I need to leave my light on more, too.

    Jen- Thanks. It's something we stop and ask ourselves from time to time.

    Talon- Thanks. I notice this when I'm shopping and get to the checkout - whether or not the cashier's light is on. It does make a difference.

    San Liu- Thanks. Me too!

  7. Someone once made a comment to me that a smile is the best thing/gift you can give a total stranger on any given day. The reasoning is that when you smile, you give someone a sense of happiness, and if you're lucky, they'll smile right back.

    Sometimes, that's all you need to turn your day around. A random smile from somebody else :-)

    Sara- Thank you. If I can find a picture of the author that I can use, then I like to use my own pictures. I try to match them with the feeling of the quote.
