Charlie Chaplin Got It Right

As the restrictions for mask wearing are being loosened, we all benefit from one of life's most encouraging gifts: other people's smiles. How I've missed them, and know you have as well. When we're having a difficult day or time of life, nothing is as good a reminder that there's hope than seeing smiles on the faces of others.

With that said, let's spread some around ourselves. We all carry around a lot of heavy baggage. The person near you is doing the same. Let's make that little effort to put on a smile "for them." They need them as much as we do. Another benefit of smiling is that it makes us feel better inside as well.

I don't know if a lot of things from the past will be "in style" again; however, one look that never goes out of style is a smiling face. Wear yours today, for someone else, and for you.

I love the sweet lyrics of the classic song "Smile" written by Charlie Chaplin:
