A smile starts at the mouth and moves throughout your body. Others will see it and begin to feel good too. It all starts with your smile.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-22880885372442381282015-09-27T06:52:34.747-05:002015-09-27T06:52:34.747-05:00What you have mentioned apply basically to every p...What you have mentioned apply basically to every place.<br />Sigh.<br />But I have to remember to smile, at least, it starts from me.rainfield61https://www.blogger.com/profile/01334864123466123667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-73257218119744061392015-09-26T22:15:16.671-05:002015-09-26T22:15:16.671-05:00Pardon my characters.Pardon my characters.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-29927956311529776652015-09-26T22:13:48.228-05:002015-09-26T22:13:48.228-05:00I think it goes further than that.

If not allowed some sort of physical activity kids will bother the person trying to stop it. You were smart to encourage him to move and get rid of a little energy.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-56513548147369456262015-09-25T11:10:28.635-05:002015-09-25T11:10:28.635-05:00Well said.

I knew all the offices were empty. Meanwhile his mother continued her business at the window. Suddenly she turned and yelled "Stop throwing that frizbee." I shrugged at the youngster and smiled. He smiled and shrugged back. So, for the rest of her transaction mama had son hanging on her, demandind to leave. The little one and I exchanged grins as he went through the door, literally hanging off his mother's back pocket.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.com
