Friday smile


Share a Smile 
The Value of a Smile
It costs nothing, but creates much;

It enriches those who receive without
impoverishing those who give;

It happens in a flash, and the memory of it
sometimes lasts forever;

None are so rich they can get along without it,
and none so poor but are richer
for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home, fosters good
will in a business, and is the countersign of friends.

It is rest to the weary, daylight to the
discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and
nature’s best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or
stolen, for it is of no earthly good to
anybody until it is given away.

Nobody needs a smile so much as those who
have none left to give.


If you feel in need of a smile - just pop over to Annie's "A stitch in time" blog and see what's making her smile today! Her new poppy blog header makes me smile every time I see it.

Have a great weekend.
x Jo

That reminds me of the song about Love is something that if you give it away you end up having more. :-) How true is that.

Lovely words Jo. My mum used to say: "You smile and others smile, and soon there´s miles and miles of smiles, and life´s worth while because you smile". Very true. Kate x

So true. I know that in the morning if you smile at someone they brighten up, and usually look surprised!!! Life is too short to be grumpy!!
