Today I heard that in answer to the question ‘how can we bring about peace in the world’ an 8 year old said something along the lines of ‘don’t be shy about sharing smiles’ they said it a lot better but I can’t remember the exact wording!

This was one of a number of profound ideas but this was the one that really jumped out at me and that I have remembered.

I’m sure we’ve often thought that it’s ‘just a smile’ it’s not important but then how special do you feel when someone smiles at you? We don’t have to know who is smiling or who we’re smiling at. That simple act can make a huge difference in what might be a tough day.

Don’t be afraid to share your smiles
