"Don't let the world change your smile. 
Let your smile change the world."
       -Chinese Proverb

I love this proverb. Smiles and flowers too.  Along with hope, gratitude, and joy. 

I love common courtesy and uncommon, extraordinary courtesy, warmth, friendliness, authenticity, and respect for all people. 

What do you love? What are your ideals.? Who do you want to be in the world.?

Let's not let attempts to break us down and tear us apart wear away any of our highest ideals or our deepest strengths. 

More than anything, the world needs our smiles now, our love and kindness, our humor, our friendliness, our hope.

Let's be our best.

With love, compassion, and courage,
