Happy Wednesday to you all! Smiles sent your way and one wish I have is that you learn the power of that simple sincere smile. My next wish is that you apply that power through out your day, making the magic spread and sharing your gift with others.
Smile. Have you ever noticed how
easily puppies make human friends?
Yet all they do is wag their tails and fall over.
~Walter Anderson,
The Confidence Course, 1997

The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.
~William Shakespeare, Othello
How true these two quotes. First a dog can make anyone smile with his mere presence, much like a baby with his smile or laugh.
The quote that a person who attempts to steal your joy, or your happiness is always a bit miffed when you still smile, still have that spirit of joy in your heart. The attempt goes thwarted when we understand that no one can really change our mood, only us.
“Don't mind criticism. If it is untrue, disregard it;
if unfair, keep from irritation;
if it is ignorant, smile;
if it is justified it is not criticism, learn from it.”

Many of you may know of the piece by Max Ehrmann written in the 1920's called Desiderata
the last like sums up the piece by saying:
'Be Cheerful. Strive to Be Happy'
Another work of his called ' A Prayer ' is shown here in this video.
A poetry reading that if you let it sink in and think on this you will find what meaning it has in life. My last wish is that you enjoy it, and enjoy your day!
My Wednesday wish for you this day.
May your smiles abound.
May your joy lift another spirit.
May you stay hungry and stay foolish!
May your heart be warmed because it always was.
