A Smile

Ignites Hope

A smile is 'catching'

“Be the reason

someone smiles today.”

This is a lovely saying.

It reminds us

how important a smile is

and the effect a smile has on a person.

A smile is 'catching'.

A smile

shows kindness,

compassion and,

yes, understanding.

This also promotes mental health

within our families, friends and neighbourhood.

A smile is 'catching'.

Embracing joy and smiling

is an active way

of resisting and ‘fighting off’

apathy and negativity,

which is something we all try to do.

A smile is 'catching'.

As we go through our day-to-day lives,

we can face those challenges

with a smile on our faces.

It is amazing

how ‘infectious’

a smile is!

A smile is 'catching'.

Smiling at anyone we meet

shows that we are making a conscious effort

to be kind and to spread kindness.

A “smile”

can ignite hope.

It can

be inspiring.

A “Smile”

encourages all of us

to look to the future.

A smile is 'catching'.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
