A Simple Smile

Yesterday was a good day - and my brain was fried by the time I was finished with my work. I decided to go uptown and walk around the shops and maybe head down to the lake to watch the waves. On my way I saw a couple, probably in their seventies, walking hand-in-hand and just smiling.

The sight of them really struck me and I couldn't look away. They looked so perfectly content and happy. They had these wonderful small smiles on their faces; smiles of contentment that just stayed there. It wasn't fleeting. It wasn't becaause of something they saw or something one of them said. It was a part of them and their relationship, and the joy they took in the simple act of walking down the street holding hands.

I'm going to take the inspiration I got from them and be sure to enjoy my family today. Just spend time being and letting myself be happy in the moment. I encourage you to create more happiness in your life and spend some time with people you enjoy.
