I wanted to start this thread cause everyday life can drag you down. Sometimes I can't even watch or read the news.
So let's use this thread for some positive thoughts, encouraging words, uplifting quotes and try to brighten someone's day by doing so.

I like this idea Jen...
The story behind this is sad so I won't replay but a dear sweet young person we knew that left us way to soon gave this to us...he was never seen without a smile...
It happens in a flash, but the memory of it last forever. It can not be borrowed or stolen, and it is of no earthly good until it is given away. So if in your hurry you meet someone who is too weary to smile, leave him one of yours, for no one needs a smile quite as much as he who has none to give
Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world. ~Virgil A. Kraft
