feels called upon to tell me
who died. I find my mail is
replete with pleas to help
people who are sick with
incurable diseases. Some
I help, some I throw in the
garbage, but they never give up. A week or two later they’re
back with greeting cards or labels, so I feel bad for having
ignored them and I donate and the cycle starts again.
I want some good news, but as far as the daily television
programs are concerned, only bad news, wars, killings,
tornadoes, plane crashes are what they offer, including
commercials. So where can I turn to find some smiles? I’d
like some and I really could use some. When I wake up each
morning it’s like I have a clean slate. I want to reach out to
friendly people who have optimistic points of view. The ones

your aches and pains, they have enough of their own. So,
cheer them up with a smile and a “Thank you for asking.”
You’ll both feel better.
There are real troubles in the world but refusing to smile
even at the lighter times dampens everything and doesn’t
make you fun to be around. C’mon, show that bright smile
you’ve been hiding, and you’ll find that every day is not
cloudy, in fact, look up, the sun is shining. Enjoy it!
