Let the Beam of Love Shine Right Through You

Don't you just love the feeling of knowing you actually started the day right? Making amends with everything that concerns you for the full 24-hour is really frustrating but somehow, you know you've gone halfway through it just by simply starting your day right.

Just this morning, I came across someone I'm not totally in good terms with. I don't think we really argued in the fullest sense of the word "argue" but I just know we're not riding the same boat. I saw him this morning and it just felt right to come right up to him and greet him. I was hesitant to do it at first, probably because my pride was acting up. But I realized that if I can give a stranger a kind smile, how can I not give the same to someone who used to be my friend?

It's crazy that I always thought smiling can brighten up the day of that person I smiled at. But then I came to realize that it too is a perfect example of a win-win situation. At one moment today, I felt better and I felt (modesty aside) kind. It simply seemed unreasonable not to give out genuine smiles and affection to people who deserve it when you have too much in your backpocket.

It's really a minute thing to revolutionize my day, but maybe I'm weird that way. It totally turned my day upside down -- I left home feeling grumpy but then I arrived at the office somewhat relieved and light-hearted.

Grateful that I have too much love to give,
