I love smiles.

When I fell in love with Scott, one thing I fell in love with was his beautiful smile. When I am out and about, I look for people who have faces that smile. When I am feeling a little stressed, or a little sad, a smile can go a long ways to making me feel better. I think I smile often, but when you think about the power of something so small as a smile, I’ve been realizing that I just don’t smile near enough.

One of my goals in 2012 is to smile more.  I want to make the most of the little abilities and little opportunities that I’ve been given. I may not have a big voice that can be heard by many. I may not have a strong enough pen to write words that will inspire the world to find more beauty. But I can smile. And I believe, as small as a smile may be, that we may never know the end of the journey of a single smile.

In the next few weeks and months, I think I’ll start sharing some of the quotes and poems in my collection of smiles. I think you’ll enjoy them as much as I do.
