A smile cost nothing, but gives so much. It enriches those who receive it, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature’s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. Their are a couple of differences between a hug and a smile.. #1. A smile can be given from any distance.. and yes, even over the phone.. #2. A hug, when given usually gets you hugged in return.. it's not always true with a smile..But both are very worth the effort! And both usually makes the giver and receiver feel better.

YOU CAN SMILE, WHEN YOU CAN'T SAY A WORD, YOU CAN SMILE, WHEN YOU CANNOT BE HEARD, YOU CAN SMILE WHEN IT'S CLOUDY OR GREY, YOU CAN SMILE, ANY TIME ANY WAY... (#2nd. verse of a song we sang in Sunday school when I was a kid) First verse.. and most important follows!...
YOU CAN PRAY, WHEN YOU CAN'T SAY A WORD, YOU CAN PRAY, WHEN YOU CANNOT BE HEARD, YOU CAN PRAY WHEN IT'S CLOUDY OR GREY, YOU CAN PRAY, ANY TIME ANY WAY...
================================================A Candle
I am a dim and tiny candleIn a sea of darkness shining,
But I will keep on spreading light
With the message I’m defining.
Perhaps one person may spy the glow,
Seeping dimly from my flame,
And spread it to another
Because to it he came.
So though my light be soft and dim
And my message written small,
The hope that even one may learn
Makes me give it my all. Elizabeth Ruth

BOY OH BOY, WAS IT WINDY OUT TODAY OR WHAT? MAKES YA WORK TWICE AS HARD!
I got a few more Christmas decorations packed up and carried out to the building (where they will 'live' until next Christmas).. and I replaced the last of them with snow, and snowmen and a couple with angels on "clouds" This will pretty much stay up through January, Lord's willing! Glad to get it packed up and carried out "as I go" it helps.. And I am washing the new sheets that Norman's mother gave us for Christmas and getting ready to put it on our bed.. love that "final touch" fabric softener! She gave us a "bed in a bag" and it will be nice to start the new year with a new and fresh bed set! Thanks Mom Terry!
