A Simple Smile

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND ALL THE
GOOD A SIMPLE SMILE CAN ACCOMPLISH.

~Blessed Mother Teresa

Of Note: Ever notice how flowers seem to be smiling? Or how they automatically bring a smile to the face of anyone seeing their beauty and grace? It is like flowers emanate the energy that brings on a smile by being a smile itself. They don't even have to try like we humans, who must "put on a smile" in order to appear cheery. Few people do it without effort. Just think how the world would change if we emanated the same smile energy as a flower. Someday we will learn that lesson but right now we will just have to take notes from our vegetable kingdom friends.

Today's Weather Report: The plants are sleeping under the snow while the sun shone brightly today across the snow. It has created a heat wave at 19 degrees Fahrenheit. The poor Midwest got dumped with record-breaking snow and ice the last few days. In northern Wisconsin, we did not see any precipitation at all. Darn. Many locals say the cold of winter is behind us, and an early spring is on the way. Last year we saw spring in March, and that is next month already. Can't imagine with all the snow we have at the moment, spring next month. But we can't discount the venerable locals.
