Smiling...

The snow laid thick on the ground, it was bitterly cold and was the perfect excuse for a frown? No - on the contrary. The snow in England seems to be uniting people and giving them something to talk about. Of course we all love to talk about the weather, especially when it is something out of the ordinary... The thing is it seems that this rather odd phenomenon is uniting communities, children are laughing and the usual 'guards' are down.

While I was out walking I noticed people were more playful. Many smiled and said hello. That got me into thinking how lovely it is to greet each other - even strangers... We live in a world based in fear and the truth is a simple smile and act of friendliness can change a person's day around. The more you smile, the more people you meet. A smile is definitely contagious... Imagine if smiling became a contagious - ease... I would call it a smile-ease. How lovely is that?
