The power of a smile

I have been having a not so nice week,  I had an accident that could have been avoided. So it's not surprising that I have been having mood swings. I was blaming it on everyone, I got so irritable and sensitive, picking up vibes that were non existent from other people. I kept going at it until I got into a bus and the driver smiled at me. He didn't have to, and then it struck me that life is about perception. It's about what you make of it. What if someone was being nasty, it's on them not on you. Why waste time thinking about how they spoke to you. You can shake it off and make excuses for them. That though is easier said than done. It can only come from a place of peace and from following one of the greatest commandments; love your neighbors as yourself. So the next time you feel inclined to respond with a scathing remark, choose to excuse them.lastly bless people with a smile because you don't have to.
