I was at the post office early that morning, hoping to be in and out in a short while. Yet, I
myself standing in a queue that went all the way into the hallway. I had never seen so many people there on a weekday. It seemed someone might have made an announcement,

I continued to smile all the way to my car. Wow, it’s amazing
a simple smile can do.
From then on, I became aware of people’s
and my own, the way we show our feelings. Now I use that
every day to let it
me that when facing the world, I can try a smile.
