If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of your own, because no one needs a smile as much as those who have none.

Just a thought……..

It takes many more facial muscles to frown than it does to smile. That being so you would think the world would be full of smiling faces!

Since i arrived and settled in Spain running my multiple business i have time to wander and meet the locals. I noticed a very old elderly Spanish lady walking near to my villa. She had a sad face, wrinkled and it tells a story of trial and difficulty over many long years. She is certainly old enough to remember terrible times of civil war, poverty and hardship, her sad face reflects every difficulty. I could be totally wrong about a painful past and she maybe perfectly happy, but her face in repose is like an open book; a melancholy of drama. Really.

During the 1960s Christians were encouraged to wear badges and use car stickers saying “smile God loves you” I find this difficult to comprehend especially if you are going through tough times. Yet we all love people who smile don’t we? Especially if they can manage a smile in adversity. We are attracted to the warmth of a smile. It can be a precious gift in a down day…would you agree? A smile can be infectious. Have you ever tried smiling to strangers when they pass you by? Be Careful I have tried this and you realise people are looking at you but they are not sure why you are smile…some people might think you are mad.

Lets smile together and make a small difference to the people we meet and pass.

baby smilingWe can make a difference.Make someone Else’s day with a genuine smile, whatever your personal circumstance. And remember God does love you.

Be Happy, keep smiling

Your friend in Spain

The Fear Tax Are You Paying it?

The fear tax
http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2010/08/the-fear-tax.html

We pay the fear tax every time we spend time or money seeking reassurance. We pay it twice when the act of seeking that reassurance actually makes us more anxious, not less.

We pay the tax when we cover our butt instead of doing the right thing, and we pay the tax when we take away someone’s dignity because we’re afraid.

A great article from Seth Godin. The fear tax prevents us from being all we can be, in fact it's no coincidence that great entrepreneurs cone about much later in life, not surprisingly after a career upset. 

Eventually the cycle and comfort of working for someone else is broken and left with no choice one embarks on ones own enterprise. Only to find a truer calling and immense results! 

Nelson Mandela commented how we are not afraid of failure more that we are afraid of how successful we could become!

Autoresponders ended Slavery!

How Chinese Water Torture Ended American Slavery

drip, drip, drip….

Whether in the form of magazine articles in 1852, or timed emails in 2010, falling water wears away even the hardest of stone. And in our version of “Chinese Water Torture,” the ‘torture’ part is merely anticipation of what’s comin’ next. :^>

Certain tools are without doubt a double thumbs up! Auto Responders  are one of those tools!
