Today I want to say to you, to teach your children that they should start the day with a smile.
It does not take much for you to smile.
If we can teach children to smile through life they might just have a happier life.
My wife has this weird thing when she walks in town she smiles to every person who comes past. I sit on a chair in the middle of the centre she is walking through and watch her.
It is incredible to see how many people smile at her. Maybe she has just made their day a bit better as that is how I know her.
If we can accept that life sometimes gives us lemons and we just have to overcome this, we will always be smiling.
I have been married to her for 49 years now, and she does this every time she walks through the shopping center, I do not know if she even realizes but it is wonderful to see how few people do not smile back at her.
This can teach our children that when we smile we make someone’s life a bit better.
It does not take much too just smile. I am putting a video in here that I found and it just made me think of how wonderful life would be if we were all smiling instead of just being straight faced and walking without seeing other people around us.
Not all people smile back at her but that does not bother her as she says she feels sorry for them, as they do not know how wonderful it is when someone smiles back at you.
If we could teach children to look at life through a smile it would change their lives as well.
Yesterday I wrote a post that was very upsetting, and maybe if we smile at people a bit more they will think about it and start doing the same.
When your children are small always teach them to smile it does not take much to teach them this and they will feel wonderful inside.
We have so much to be thankful for and why not enjoy life with a smile.
Things can only get better for them and not worse if they learn that when they are sad it is not the end of the world it is just a little hiccup along the way that can always be fixed. If you teach them that they will see that tomorrow the sun may come through for them again.
So there are videos where people even teach their animals to smile and that does make everyone smile.
So why not people as well.
I truly hope you like my post and have a wonderful day from me here at the Wild Coast it is a sunny windless summer day.
