Hello friend Recently I was reflecting upon an experience I had in India a couple of years ago and I would like to share it with you. I was walking along the street in a small beach resort in Kerala, the south of India, and I noticed a man standing on one leg (he only had one leg). He was holding a large cluster of balloons. He shouted out to me "hey, I remember you, you were here last February!". That was true, but a year had passed and I was so shocked that he remembered, that I was stopped in my tracks. I went up to him and asked "How do you remember me?". His reply humbled me to the very core. He said..."I remember you because every time you walked by you would smile at me". Here I was traipsing around the world (on two legs) and here he was limited to a tiny spot and probably had never left this village. The lesson is in the 'smile' and how much they can mean to those with whom you share them. Smile! You never know, it may be today that your smile will light up someone's world!
