Welcome to another Magnificent Monday, to kick this week off on a high note.
Smiles can light up the world. The glow of a a spontaneous smile is immediately appreciated and engenders a positive warm response, no matter how off one can be feeling. This week, an online friend is having a heart procedure and I know he'll be reading this, so I went through a few albums and pulled out a few snaps of warm-hearted smiles I have captured from our travels. Let's post up more articles and photos of ''Smiles" and light up his world. Let's send heaps of positive energy flowing his way.
