Just a Smile
โIt was only a sunny smile,
and little it cost in the giving,
but like morning light
it scattered the night
and made the day
worth living.โ
-F. Scott Fitzgerald

What makes you smile?
โWaking up this morning,
I smile.
Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow
to live fully
in each moment
and to look at all beingsย
with eyes of compassion.โ
-Thich Nhat Hanh

May we treasure each new day, and may your day be beautiful. ๐
“Too often we underestimate
the power of
a touch,
a smile,
a kind word,
a listening ear,
an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential
to turn a life around.”
-Leo Buscaglia

May we each let our compassion be a candle in the night. ๐
Dear friends,
As we start a new week, I would like to encourage you with some of my favorite words from Emily Dickinson:
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
Wishing everyone out there a wonderful and blessed week.
With love,
Phoebe
