People are always smiling at you probably because you are always smiling at them. <BR/>I have baby pictures of all 5 of my children and myself and my husband hanging in my bedroom.

Or even think of the time before that. When I was pregnant with my first, I was so happy I could sing all day. When I went to a supermarket I always heard mothers yelling at their children: No you cannot have that, I have told you a 1000 times already. And worse are parents with yelling children that don't speak at all to their children, leaving them behaving badly. I always wondered: have they ever been as happy as I am while being pregnant? Could they imagine it would be like this? And I thought to myself that I would try to raise my children with respect. Though I don't want to say that I am a saint! To little children that are constantly being yelled at or told nothing at all, it is not easy to see that a smile will cost you nothing and saying hello neither. I do hope that they learn from experience: from people like you Karen. Keep smiling!LiLi M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14242615020311128940noreply@blogger.com
