There is a great woman who has been a part of my fitness boot camps since last May.  One thing that has caught my attention since the first day that I had met her is this consistent and sensational smile she brings with her EVERY single time you see her. Today she brought me and everyone in the boot camp class a printed writing that someone gave her over thirty years ago. This is what it says:

Anonymous:

A smile costs nothing but creates much.

It enriches those who receive without impoverishing

those who give. It happens in a flash and the

memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None are so rich they can get along

without it and none so poor but both

are richer for its benefits. It creates

happiness in the home, fosters good will

in a business and is the

countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary,

daylight to the discouraged, sunshine

to the sad and nature’s best antidote

for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought,

begged, borrowed or stolen; for it is

something that is no earthly good to

anybody until it is given away. Nobody

needs a smile so much as those

who have none left to give.
