This morning I woke up anxiety ridden and then read a text that a close friend sent. She wrote one short text that made me laugh out loud. I don't think that she understood how her small little gesture of a positive text message to me completely changed my energy and course of my day. It's these small gestures that make a big difference, something that can take a minute out of your day, may change the course of someone's day on the whole.
Take time today to smile at someone, send a positive text or email, make a phone call and spread some joy. Your small gesture will make a big difference.
If you would like to share your small gesture(s), I would love to read them.
I just hugged my mom and told her that I love her.
as is always the case, our puppy comes up with fabulous suggestions to live by.
the best thing about this one puppy is that when i've found my sself in not so hot of a mood, taking someone else into consideration and sharing a smilte does your self good as well.....spread the love puppypal and thanks once again for your positive and update postes.....
Kathy, as always you made me smile from cheek to cheek with your tremendous compliments. Thank you so much for that! I really try to always remind myself, even when stressed and overwhelmed, to take time out and think of others. There is a big world out there with so many who could truly benefit from a simple smile :-)

Ive had a strange morning and havent been around for a while. With you on this,
when we are having trouble finding our true self it is normally brought right by loseing yourself in helping others.. just a smile .. or a laugh at a joke (even when it isnt funny).. we arent simply ourselves but we are everyone to an extent. Our help of others makes us complete, because in this the main person we help is ourselves.
My thanks for your wisdom as normal.. lol will probably be making stupid replies to every post on the websight this morning. But what you said is exactly correct.
So true, with all the up & down mood divorce causes it is a relief to think of something else and smile again. I've always thought the best happyness you can bring to yourself comes from giving happyness to others. But it really is the small things in life that are special.
Ok!!!! Obvious Im using this board as a crutch this morning because I need it.. my thanks folks. Possibly what we think of as the small things are truly the big things. If we are looking to live .. find something large and breathtaking .. and what matters.. just possibly we should try makeing the perfect pot of coffee.. enjoy the smile of a friend.. make our kids a perfect breakfast.. these are the large things in life .. much more than the small things like .. ah.. winning the lottery.. winning elected office.. rulling our own country.. starts with those you love and how you love.. these and those are the big things.
Ststephenmc, I have really missed you, your wisdom, your wittiness, and overall persona. You have always added tremendous value here and bring so much insight for all of us, and for that I am incredibly grateful. Thank you for your incredibly kind words to me, they put a huge smile on my face. What you may think was a small gesture by writing your comment, was a huge gesture, because it gave me the gift of a smile and happiness. Thank you for that!
I hope that you are doing well and I really hope that you will share with us when/if you need. We are always here for you.
