Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

That Hidden Smile

I forgot to shake hands and be friendly.
 It was an important lesson about leadership.
Lee Iacocca
There is a man I would see when I went walking
He was probably in his 80's
and a bit of a grump
For one solid year,
My dog and I  said hello and smiled whenever we saw him
No response
But we would not give up
He grumped right by us every day 
And we just kept giving him a big hello
(or a friendly wag in my dog's case) 
Then one day,
 he just gave up
 he smiled!
He said good morning!
It felt like Christmas!
I believe that inside every grump
there is a smile waiting to come out
Go! Find a grump
Then give him a reason to smile!
 
and that's poetiquejustis
A cheerful heart is a good medicine
Proverbs 17:22
