The shortest distance between two people
is a smile.
If you smile at someone, they might smile back.
Smiling is my favorite exercise.
People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.

The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.
~William Shakespeare, Othello
A smile confuses an approaching frown.
Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love,
a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
~Mother Teresa
A laugh is a smile that bursts.

I love all the beautiful smiles! This is reminding me of my trip last year to Dominican Republic to visit and work at a Mission of Mercy project. It definitely changes your perspective.

Erin, Have you seen our Flickr group? Keely’s an amazing photographer, but
so are so many on our trip. My face? It’s melting by 9:30 every
day…heatwave in Kolkata, lol, a 30-year high. Sounds about right for me,
huh? (love you)
Thanks, Steve! Their smiles even illumine daylight :).

I’m also following Melissa (is she just like her Mom?) and Flowerdust. (((Hugs)))
I just took the time and read through everyone’s stories of the trip. Beautiful photos and heart-warming (and breaking) stories.
I am “this close” to sponsoring a child…am going to talk to Dave tonight. We already sponsor a child in Africa, but what the heck – India has a severe need as well.
It’s amazing the beauty of a smile.
Thank you for sharing these fabulous photos.
