It's been raining here the last few days...no sunshine whatsoever and that of course has put me in a no sunshine mood! And sometimes all it takes is something small to snap us out of it. That's what happened to me just now.
I'm working and trying to catch up with everything that I've fallen behind on. Trying to get stuff prepared for the next year. Closing out files for the old, and feeling like my to-do list is just way longer than necessary, simply needing a break. So I went to heat my lunch, grab my tea, and of course, wash my hands first. It was in doing that mindless task that I discovered something. I have the same smile as my Grandmother. She has been gone a year now and her smile is something I've missed greatly. But just now as I was washing my hands, checking to make sure I didn't have ink or anything else on my face, I saw HER smile in MY reflection.
I think now I'm gonna smile a little more knowing that my smile is a gift from her. I haven't lost that special part of her at all, but it goes on and on as long as I do. And maybe, just maybe, it will go on through my children....and their children...and their children and live on.
Bunches of Blessings!
Joy
