A Smile Can Make the Difference

Her cousin had been killed She could think of nothing else She told no one But a smile on the street helped He had lost his job Had no idea how hard it was to find another one Had already survived six interviews This potential boss smiled, making him a tiny bit hopeful They were homeless now Living where? They did not even have a car They picked up some things and wandered down to their neighbors “Come in,” he said, smiling at them “we will figure this out”. A smile can make all the difference in the world.

You never know who you are uplifting or hurting by your smile or your frown
