A Smile

A smile costs nothing but gives so much. It enriches those who receive , without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. No one is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and no one is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and 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 a smile. Give them one of yours, as no one needs a smile so much as he who has none to give.

So many icons...

Icons! They have taken over my favorites bar. I am on a never ending hunt for new products, suppliers, wholesale companies; and when time allows, fabulous chocolates. When I come across one that shows some promise, I add that little treasure to my favorites.

Today, I came to realize how many "treasures" I have collected and wonder just how much time I spent looking for them. Some are links to nowhere, some lead to goodies I had completely forgotten about and some... well, I think some of them were added some time after 2:00a on some night as my eyes were propped open and seeing double.

Now, I know I can create folders for those adorable miniature works of art and drop them into their tidy new homes; but I'm not certain I want to, yet. A smiling sun, a rainbow colored pinwheel, an adorable owl are a few of many that greet me everyday when I open up my browser. ... but, on the other hand; they seem to be slacking off a lot. Those little buggers have been greeting me for who knows how long, and I am just now realizing they are there? No warming rays of sunshine, no colorful spins and the owl isn't whoo - whooing at all. Maybe it is time to open up that folder and drop........ oh look! A new supplier for bridal bouquet accessories...... with a daisy icon! Yea!

Have a happy............ and smile.
