A Word

A word that is immediately an action. I know January is almost over and last year I did not pick a word. This year I have finally chosen my word.

Some thing so simple,that seems so easy, but is not always easy is what I chose.

I need to SMILE more!!!

My children need to see me smile more!!

So I am going to smile even when I do not want to.

There is amazing power in a smile for those who give a smile and those who receive a smile.

This year I am going to test the power of a smile.


"A friendly smile, a warm handclasp, a sincere testimony of truth can literally lift lives, change human nature, and save precious souls."
Thomas S. Monson



"We can smile when anger might be so much easier"
Gordon B. Hinckley



"My dear sisters, how blessed we are! A kind word of encouragement, a note of thanks, a phone call, a loving smile, a helpful deed, and a reminder that God loves us are often what is needed most."
Barbara Thompson

We all need a little help in that area. I'll consider myself blessed if I have laugh lines.

How perfect, I think we could all learn to smile a little more!

P.S. All right if you want to play along and keeping right in line with the alphabet, let's give you the letter "K". List your favorite ten things that start with "K". I can't wait to see what you come up with and thanks for playing!
