I smile a lot.   I can’t help it. When I’m in the garden, I can feel a smile begin to form on my face as flowers bloom strawberries bear fruit, birds gift seeds and I wonder “what will you become, little seeds?”

When I’m out for a walk, I can feel a smile begin to form on my face as puppies romp in the dog park, lovers hold hands and snatch a kiss, children’s laughter fills the air, and even when a bird poops on my jacket!

When I’ve got my little camera in my hand, I can feel a smile begin to form on my face as raindrops transform the roses into something even more beautiful than they were before the rain and joy fills my heart as a new Soulistry blog piece begins to form in my heart and mind.

I believe that when we smile often and find beauty and joy in the ordinary, 
we begin to realize how blessed we are.
