When our loved ones are happy,
their faces shine—and when we look into their eyes, we can’t help but smile.
It's a natural response, just like the gentle smile that forms when we receive
good news. That moment of happiness and satisfaction is often followed by a
quiet thank-you to God.
Even with strangers, the first
thing we offer is a smile. Sometimes it’s the only exchange—a glance and a
smile, maybe even the beginning of a bond.
I smile when I see bookshops or
street vendors selling books. Flowers bring a smile to my face and brighten my
day. A cheerful WhatsApp greeting or a joke makes me smile. The chirping of
birds often makes me look around to spot them, smiling at their simple joy.
When I see someone dressed
elegantly, I smile at them and silently wish them a wonderful day. A bright,
clear sky makes me smile in appreciation. While reading, if a sentence or a
special phrase touches me, I smile at its brilliance. Compliments make me smile
gently. When I visit someone’s home and find it impressively clean, beautifully
arranged, or tastefully decorated, I admire it with a smile. If someone’s
response impresses me, it also earns a smile.
Many small, sweet things bring a
smile to my face: greeting cards, old letters, photographs, balloons,
butterflies, ice creams, stuffed toys, showpieces, books, bags, bindis,
bangles, clips, sarees, chappals, bedspreads, cushions, curtains, chandeliers,
wind chimes, earrings, cute babies, gardens, pleasant breezes, light rain,
tasty food—and, of course, my treasured toy collection.
Smiles come easily with such
everyday joys. And in these simple smiles lie the quiet beauty of life.
