Seems like a simple question. Did you smile today? Unfortunately I am beginning to think that smiling is a lost art.
We are behind masks and people think that we cannot see what is happening but the answer is we can still tell when someone is smiling and when they are not.
Smiling is easy and it says so much more than words can. Smiling can say that you are happy to see someone or that you are in good mood or so much more including compassion.
You didn’t realize that your smile said so much did you? I think that we have lost some very basic skills in the last few years. We have lost the ability to smile and maybe more importantly how to interact with each other.
We have gotten to the point that things that were once considered common such as hello, please, thank you , have a nice day. Have gone the way of a lost art. Does that mean that we stop smiling too?
I am pretty sure that we can all do a little better, it doesn’t cost you anything to smile. In fact it makes not only your day better but the person that is receiving it gets a little bit better.
So whether you are behind the mask or on a zoom meeting or just talking with a friend. Take that extra second and smile. It’s so easy.
Until next time,
Juli
