At times, it is difficult to smile.
To keep moving in gallant strides when simultaneously disappointment is wringing out every bit of optimism. To smile becomes a great challenge, a colossal mountain to climb. Yet, somehow we manage to, even though, the curve of that first returning smile somehow feels displaced and the mind is disengaged. But soon we begin to believe all will be okay simply because it must be okay. Otherwise, why get out of bed? Why take another step? Why believe in the miracle of each breath?
In spite of the highs and extreme lows we have experienced this week, we are smiling merely because we believe in the promise of sunshine in each tomorrow – and with it comes optimism.
No matter what happens, no matter how deep the emotional wound and no matter how long it takes to recover, remember to somehow smile again! Tomorrow is only hours away!
We hope you are having a great weekend!
Until we meet back here, again, remember to smile!
The chorus says it all:
(When I think how much better I’m gonna be when this is over)
I smile, even though I’m hurt see I smile, I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I’ve been here for a while I smile, smile..
it’s so hard to look up when you look down. I hate to see it when you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile.

Reblogged this on Words of Melody and commented:
Day 10 of the 15 Habits challenge is about sharing other’s work. Today I figured I would share a blog post I read last week that I rather enjoyed! I love the encouragement in this post as well as the creative way of presenting a beautiful product, without spewing “BUY THIS” all of the place. I think it really shows the authors genuine nature, while showcasing their craft.
Melody, we are thankful for your generosity and kindness. Thank you for reblogging.
Thank you for the encouraging words, sometimes things get tough and you start wondering how you will pull through. I totally love the jewellery, some remind me of the ones from home, and thanks for stopping by tundakenya, do visit again.
Smiling can make it easier for us all to pull through at times.
I love this post, It definitely picked my spirits up and showed my cute dimples today lol. I really love how the Morning Light piece reminds me of the sun, and the sun makes me smile so much, its the energy that give the extra push in the day to make me SMILE! Keep up the great work WASIA

Tracy, we are so happy you were inspired and it jump started your day. Perhaps, inspiring others makes it all worth enduring. We are so glad you like the jewelry. It’s a new week …how amazing is it to charge into it with optimism?!!
I already begin to smile while I saw the Honey, Morning light and the Safari plated beads, all fabulous !
