*Pass It On*

Ok so this gentleman just rudely pointed out one of my many flaws. He was telling me that it is rude to talk out the side of my mouth, it's not rude if it's just something you do. When I smile it's mostly the right side. I don't know why, but when I genuinely smile you can count all these pearly whites. But back to my rude guy, why does it matter? I just feel like society has gotten to the point that they will be "real with chu" at any cost. It doesn't matter if it hurts your feelings or not, it's gonna be said. I have a problem with this every now and then. I can be the most blunt and upfront person you can meet, but then there are times where I realize I do not need to say anything. What if I had an accident where I could only talk out one side of my mouth? No I shouldn't have to tell the man, people need to calm down and generally be nice. It's not that hard to smile and be a pleasant person. 

Growing up my mom, who has ended up being the smartest person I know, always told me to smile. Wether it was during a rough time or when I was having fun. A smile goes a long way. "Smile and the world smiles back." It's the most contagious thing you can help spread. So excuse me if my smile is different than yours. I'm sorry that I enjoy smiling. In sorry that I'm a happy person and that you have to be the negative nancy and find some way to tear another down. Ok maybe you're having a bad day, so what, you can sit there and sulk or find some reason to be happy. There's always a reason. Sometimes you just gotta be happy that you get to spend another day above ground. 

I had a cool opportunity to go to the Dixie Care&Share and do a little service Monday evening. I love getting out there and giving service. It must be because my mom and dad had us kiddos doing service everyday wether we liked it or not. But it made me think about the things I take for granted. As much as I hate my job it's a job and a source of income. There are tons of people who don't have that. I have family and friends that would do anything for me. Spend their last dollar so I had something to eat, the clothes off their back if worse came to worst, and I them. I have an education that not many can afford to have. The list goes on and on. But at the end of the day I get to go home, I get to take a hot shower, put on clean clothes, eat a hot meal, and climb into my own bed. But before that I'm able to fall to my knees and thank my Heavenly Father for all these blessings and for the amazing blessing to make it another day :) 

Life is way to short to be a bitter old hag. Find some reason to smile each day. Even if you don't have pretty teeth or a straight smile, DO IT. You'll either piss someone off cause you're happy or pass along the happiness.
