Up early this morning, rushed about to get the usual drab housework out of the way. Today I'm heading into town, got a special purchase to find; a pressie for my Sister's birthday. Not exactly 21 but near enough. Oh she'll cringe when she reads this.
The weather is dreary and cold, rain pouring down in bucketfuls but it doesn't dampen my spirit and I know I'm just going to get the right present. My daughter and I head off in the car, I'm wearing a big smile on my face, looking forward to my day out - Freedom at last!
Town is pretty quiet for a Wednesday morning, thank God, can't abide throngs and crowds. Too much energy and negativity to deal with. But this morning is bliss as I enjoy myself, strolling around with only the odd individual passing by completely engrossed in their own thoughts or nattering away on their phones.
After musing about in a few shops, we return to the Shopping Centre and the crowds have built up a little. As I walk through the on coming sea of faces, I can't help but notice how many people look sad, blank, or downright angry. Why I ask my angels are they so upset? The only response I get is 'Life'. Engrossed in their busy lives they've been rushing about getting this and that done, minds somewhere else and totally ignoring all that is around them. I wonder if they're thankful for being here today? How many miracles have they experienced today? Do they know they all have an Angel walking behind them?
However, I can't seem to stop smiling and every now and then I catch someone looking at me. They have a questioning look. I imagine I can hear them sayin, "What's she smiling at?" It doesn't stop me smiling and sadly I only receive 2 smiles back.
I figured out why I was smiling, I was meant to brighten up their day.
So Smile when you can it can help someone you don't even know in so many ways.
