I am grateful for a new year, with a fresh start! The year 2011 brought a lot of experiences in my life that has made me change the way I look at life, and I have truly grown from my challenges and spiritual experiences that I have had. I'm grateful for all of my trials and happy moments! I want to be able to think of ways to be happy EVERY SINGLE DAY! Life is too short to spend it being sad or down. I'm no blogger, so I hope that my desire to do this everyday will continue. I know that if we stay positive, and look up in life, anything negative will become a positive experience! With that said..........Let's Smile!

SMILE #4 Life's Lessons

I had a first today!  As a mother of 3, my middle child stole some candy from a store we were at!!!  What does this have to do about smiling you ask?   I always wondered how I would react to this kind of situation, when it actually happened.  Would I be like my mother, and take him back, make him apologize and have him return the candy?  Or would I just stick my son in the car, be upset at him, and then quickly bring it back in the store, because i'm in a hurry?........I smile because I finally had the chance to truly teach my son about honesty and stealing, and let him learn first hand how bad it feels to do something wrong.  I smile because it's something that everyone goes through, and I handled it the right way, and knowing my son truly felt remorse for what he did.  I smile for opportunities to teach my children what is right!


You want to smile?  
Tell someone you are sorry for 
something you may have done to them.  
You'll feel a lot  better :)
