It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever!

A smile costs nothing but gives much.  It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give.  It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.  None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it.  Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.  Some people are too tired to give you a smile.  Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.  ~Author Unknown

 Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.  It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.  

~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

The weather has been "the usual", grey, wet and cold, but the sun finally came out today! We are loving it, I think the whole city needed a dash of Vitamin D. It's amazing how the sun can affect people, the majority tend to be in high spirits and even smile! And you know, smiles are contagious!

We need to stop focusing on things that aren't necessary or vital (matrialistic/monetary) to our happiness. We should be focusing on the essential things, LOVE and RESPECT for one another. We should be focusing on the terms Us, them, and eachother; don't worry about yourself for a second and think about others. The perfect gift, for even a stranger, is a simple smile. You can extend that warm sign of gratitude by saying "hello", asking "how are you", or holding the door for someone behind you. 

Life is meant to be simple, and enjoyable for all of us.

Smile, we are finite and should gift others good memories.

besos, bendiciones y buenas vibras.
