This day certainly started off in an un-smiley way. Teenager trouble in the morning. That can wipe the smile off anyone’s face if they are a parent.

But, once at work, I found it easy to smile. Smiled at and with coworkers with the usual positive reactions. And got in some good ones with coworkers I barely know. A few seemed a little surprised I think – but it was fun. What was sort of eventful about this day was that I came to this realization:

Smile as much as you can, whenever you can. Cause there will be periods of your life where you just can’t smile.

And with that realization, I came to regard the ability to smile as a precious commodity. In some circles this would be interpreted as Count Your Blessings.
