“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”

Lately I've realized that as I walk down the street and pass strangers, I naturally smile, unaware that I'm actually smiling, until they reciprocate with a genuinely happy smile. My lips turn up into an even wider grin for such a beautiful and free exchange of unsolicited love.
Someone once told me that outside Oprah's makeup room hangs a sign that says, "Please take responsibility for the energy that you bring into this space." All life is energy and we are transmitting it at each second. We are all beaming signals like little radio frequencies, and the world is responding in kind. I believe this, and it applies not only for a make-up room, but for all the rooms in our lives.
As Preston Smiles (no pun intended) would ask, "What would love do in this moment?"
It's always a good question to ponder. And while you're thinking about that, smile. It makes the world a sunnier place.
