The Smile

I rarely turn on the morning show but this morning I tuned in for 5 minutes and was rewarded with a beautiful story which touched my heart and yearns to be shared.
A young man has started his own, 'Happy Monday,' video blog on SMILING.  He wanted to know what makes people smile.  He was surprised but you and I wont be.
He has travelled all around Australia asking people of all ages, cultures and career choices.  He reported the things which made people smile;
  • Spending time with family and friends
  • Spending time in the outdoors
  • Surrounding themselves with positive thinking people
  • Taking time to enjoy whatever they do
No one mentioned money, wealth, social status or career. 
Whether we spend most of our day using technology the things which make us smile, which is our happiness are the basics of life.  They make us smile, they make us happy.

As a full time carer I know laughing about the things we can't change helps us through our journey together.  When life becomes too difficult a smile, a hug, a happy thought goes a long way to a better life.
