the power of a smile
Smiles are simple, yet there is just something about them that makes them quite powerful - they are infectious. A smile can brighten an otherwise dreary day.
Lately we've been nailed with a series of snow storms that pilled our yards and roads with a significant amount of snow (disclaimer: this comes from someone raised in Georgia). Something about the snow just makes me smile. Maybe it's the anticipation of sledding down snow-covered hills at speeds otherwise not quite possible. Or maybe it's a holdover from the days of getting to miss out on a day or two of geometry. Whatever the reason, I love snow.
Granted, it might not be the most fun thing to drive around in (it certainly makes the commute longer), but it makes me smile. I'm not talking one of those fake smiles, but the real deal. (By the way, test your smile-spotting abilities here).
What makes you smile?
