Ban honks and frowns.

 

Today, I'm at peace with myself. I know someone who likes to say, "We all need to be gazed upon with love." As much as we need hugs, or a paycheck or exercise--we need to look across a room and see someone smiling at us, with love in their eyes. It must nourish and sooth the spirit. My friends were only here overnight, but filled with smiles and hugs and loving gazes. I feel such a sense of well being.


I don't think most of us get near enough of that, in these hurried times where many people we encounter in a day are harried strangers. 

 

I read once that the trouble in men's hearts of late is because they are not smiled at often enough.

Sure works to make me feel content. I guess we all just want and need reassurance we're okay, we're visible, we're doing just fine, we're safe, we're valued. A smile, a loving look, says all of that. 

 

Versus all that honking, frowning, gesturing, and yelling we tend to get on the road and in grocery stores and malls and possibly at work. Down with honks and frowns! Up, up, with people.

Smile

Here's one coming at you Laughing.  How nice for you that you were able to have that and that you slowed down enough to appreciate and receive it.  Sometimes it's there for us and we just don't notice too.

I agree! I agree!

Fuzziness

I can feel the fuzziness ten thousand miles away!

 

You are so right!  Since I have been more loving to He Man, he has been smiling an awful lot more (perhaps he wasn't so sure he was loved? she asks herself).

 

Yeah and what it is with people that their natural response to others around them is a "What are you looking at?", "I was here first!" kind of look which really doesn't make it easy for you to spread the love around. 

 

Armed with smiles

Yes, exactly. People are harried, quick to anger, not surrounded by smiles--there is a lot of frowning and "what are you looking at?" out there. But not here in TOOLS! We can take our smiles out and make a difference. We're not vapid smile machines but we really are happier. It is catchy. The world is desperate for more smiles, and a sense of comfort, I think. 

Ou duty

Gee, when you say it like that, it's our duty to go spread a few around isn't it?  Nay, not duty - mission.

Having a smilingly great day!
