Positive Daily Inspiration - January 4, 2023 - New Year's Resolution - Smile More
“Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.”
Psalms 144:15
Today’s thought is: Where is the yesterday that worried us so? Joan Walsh Anglund
This past Christmas, every moment on television I kept seeing advertisements for gifts that will make friends and family happy.
The ultimate gift is the gift itself of life. We must not waste the gift. In the fairy tale “The Last Dream of the Old Oak Tree,” the oak tree felt sorry for the day-fly. The day-fly only lives for one day, and the tree was already 365 years old. But the day-fly was so enjoying his one day that the tree’s sympathy puzzled him. The day-fly said to the tree, “You may have thousands of my days, but I have thousands of moments to be pleased and happy in.”
And so the day-fly continued to dance in the sun and smell the clover and honeysuckle. His day ended as happily as he spent it, and he settled down on a blade of grass.
If all of us could approach our day the way the day-fly does, as though this were our only day, we would spend less time worrying about yesterday and tomorrow.
How can I show my gratitude for the gift of this day?
Answer: Smile at your life.
SMILING is infectious; You catch it like the flu
When someone SMILED at me today, I started SMILING too
I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin
When he SMILED, I realized I’d passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile, then realized its worth,
A single SMILE just like mine could travel ’round the earth.
So if you feel a SMILE begin, don’t leave it undetected.
LET’S START AN EPIDEMIC QUICKLY AND GET THE WORLD INFECTED!
