This morning I found a small box in the back of the storeroom. On the back of a piece of wallpaper I found this note from my great Aunt Zilpha. The advice was good then and still good today:Some people are too tired to give a smile. Give them one of yours, as no one needs a smile so much as he has none to give.

Oris,
I learned the chorus of this 1917 song, as a child, over 40 years ago:
There are smiles that make us happy,
There are smiles that make us blue,
There are smiles that steal away the teardrops,
As the sunbeams steal away the dew.
There are smiles that have a tender meaning,
That the eyes of love alone may see,
And the smiles that fill my life with sunshine
Are the smiles that you give to me.
The lyrics of the entire song are available here:

Couldn’t help but match this simple and touching song to your profound words above.
I often wonder if smiles aren’t…the touch of angels…
