Smiles

Growing up, my mom would always remind to "wear my smile." Yes, it would get annoying, but as I've gotten older, I've realized how valuable a smile is. I've never thought of myself as beautiful (or even kind of cute for that matter) but I've always tried to wear a smile because it didn't matter how goofy my hair looked, what size I was or even what clothes I had on, I have accepted my smile as a way to bring a smile to others.
This morning when my baby woke up from her nap, I went to get her and immediately she started to smile. Of course, I couldn't help but to smile back. Even though she was waking up a little earlier than I had hoped, it just brought so much joy to see that little smile.
I've said it before...I feel so lucky to have 2 kids that smile so easily. It really doesn't take much to get a little grin, a huge smile or even a giggly giggle (if you know what I mean). Smiles bring joy to every one who recieves it!

Whenever I picture you Joni, it's with a huge smile on your face. You're great at wearing your smile.
