It's now officially Spring here in the States... And I can't say I've been ready for it for a while now :) What with all the weather that's been below 0 for so long, and for all the crazy weather changes, from ice to rain. I've been ever so grateful for all the blessings that I have! So much of my life is a blessing, and through the help of a very dear friend of mine, I have come to realize that I am as much a blessing to myself than those around me are!
For the second semester of my School year, I have been working in my schools Guidance Office. I deliver passes to see the Counselors, put together packets for Seniors, and other odd jobs that need done around the office. On one occasion, I was assigned to take a new student around the school. It was a wonderful experience, because I was able to make a new friend, and I was able to share a few secrets that I've learned in the three years I have been there :) One thing that impressed me, was that even after I had shown her around the school, she still came and sought me out on her first day and asked if I could help her around again. She could have easily asked someone else, but as we were talking, she told me that she was impressed that I knew so much (Even though it's not really that impressive) and that I was always happy (apparently, she'd asked around about me). I was stunned, and grateful that someone noticed. I explained to her my motto: If you smile, People around you will smile too!
In a short explanation, the reason that this is my motto is because most often, people look to someone who is trying to find the amazing things in the day, and they would much rather be around someone who is smiling. Happiness is as contagious as a bad mood :) If you spread it around, people will generally be happier, and things will go more smoothly during the day. Try it! You never know what good you will be able to accomplish!
This Spring, try and make a difference! I have faith in you, and I know that you can do it! :) Remember, someone somewhere is thinking about you, and they want the best for you!
Stay Amazing!
