How to have a beautiful day



To start your weekend off right, here is my guaranteed formula for having a beautiful day anytime you wish....
"give a little extra"
It's so easy to put a smile on someone else's face and it takes so little effort on your part!

"the scent of the rose lingers on the hand that gives it"


Today, everytime you encounter someone, give them a little extra, that could be a smile, a compliment or just a little extra time. I've tried as an experiment to walk down a busy street and smiled at everyone I passed. I found that more than half of them smiled back. When you smile, it has been proven to release 'feel good chemicals into your body. So, you make them and yourself feel good.


This is what's so great about giving a little extra, it makes you happier. Imagine what our world would be like if we all gave a little extra. Need a favor, no problem, I'd be happy to help. Hold open a door for someone or just take a moment to recognize that they exist, it's going to lead to a beautiful day for you with so little extra effort.


And remember, smile, it looks really good on you!

I hope your day is full of joy
And that you spread it all about,
And I hope not one person you meet
Walks away from you with a frown.

I hope every thought you think today
Has a smile tucked neatly inside,
So you can just pull it right out
To give to whoever you find.

After such a wonderful day that I know you are sure to have,
I hope you take some time for you
And remember all you've had.

Be grateful for all your friends
And for the family that you have.
Be glad for your time spent in loving and being loved by them.

Don't forget to thank the Creator
For all that He has made.
And remember you are part of that and so are divinely made.

Oh, and just one more thing...
Know I am your friend, though many miles away,
And when I lay down my head I will thank my Creator
For you.

wow, that's beautiful Gracie! Do you have a title for it? And can I reprint it, I'm concerned that a lot of people don't read the comments. If yes, and you want your name attached let me know. You can email me at edsemail@shaw.ca
Thanks again Gracie
