“A genuine smile is a gift that we all can share freely.” — Illens Dort
On a beautiful morning, I was on my way to work. I was driving on 800 north in Orem, Utah – east bound. There was a car coming from the opposite direction. In the back seat was sitting a child looking out the window. She kindly waved at me and smiled. The smile was priceless. It was genuine and authentic. I continued to drive. But, I will never forget this kind act. She made my day. I was probably thinking about a long day at work.
While I don’t clearly remember the mood I was in before that moment, I can remember how I felt after she shared her smile. I totally embraced the rest of the day with a much more positive attitude. A child had brightened my day by simply sharing her smile with me. Since that day, I make a practice to share a smile with others as I come in contact with them.
