Heart's Day High! (Don't Say Cheese-y! Just Say Smile!)

Yes! The day has come for hearts to celebrate again. Paloozas everywhere. The blue-green earth glows pinky-rosy-red and goes a-bloom with bouquets and special presents.

Yes! Even the SAD moment for independent (aka single) beings has long been commemorated with glee on the same day that HAPPY unavailable (aka committed, attached, taken, married) beings go crazy about love and sweeetness and preparations and promises.

Yes! The other day aside from Christmas when people think about, and hope for, love...and they smile...a lot! :-)

In honor of today's big event, I want to share a very heart-warming story I have read through a post on one of my FB friends' wall. Aptly titled "A Winning Smile", the story brings one the feeling of a success so dictated by fate, of a love that conquers, of an out-of-the-fairy-tale-pages happily ever after.

Truly, a smile goes a long, long way. As the saying goes, it is a curve that sets everything straight. A smile at the beginning of a day keeps all the worries away. A smile is your best make up - it is the most inexpensive way to change your looks! 

So before the spirit of love wears out at the closing of to-day, let me share with you some thoughts to smile for. May we always be reminded that love may not always come around, but...
...everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.  ~Mother Teresa

A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you're at home. 

mi familia me hace sonreír - my family makes me smile
(it's not always a homey home, but when the going gets tough, mi familia is a sure shelter to seek comfort and protection from)

 A smile is a powerful weapon; you can even break ice with it.

mis amigos me hacen sonreir - my friends make me smile
(my colleagues con friends for years...may our very first smiles bring us together again)

Every scowling face also contains the shapes of engaging smiles, just waiting to be released.  ~Dr. SunWolf

mis estudiantes me hicieron sonreír - my students made me smile
(so, whether you are a newbie, a lost soul, or a tenured welcoming newbies, worry not, strangers are friends we just have not met yet;-) 

Smiling is infectious, you can catch it like the flu. Someone smiled at me today, and I started smiling too.

estos niños me hacen sonreír - these kids make me smile

If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.  ~Andy Rooney

mis cosas favoritas me hacen sonreír - my favorite things make me smile (so find time for your faves. You'll never know, maybe they're really the love/s you might have been searching for. ;)
