They say money makes the world go around. Indeed, this may be true, but I must stop and think about what really makes us happy. Do we ever really stop and look at the world around us? Do we really ever notice the little things or are we too busy worrying about the big things? Have you ever thought about how our happiness brightens the world and turns it all just the same?
Have you ever noticed the innocent beam in a child’s eye from he’s running free and uninhibited, eager to explore life ahead?
Have you ever noticed the twinkle in a mother’s smile or the passion when lovers join?
Have you ever noticed the dance in a fellow’s step when his boss has told him he can take the rest of Friday off?
Have you ever noticed the femininity and fire of a woman when purchasing a new pair of high-heeled shoes?
Have you ever noticed how you felt when helping a friend in need with no expected return?
Have you ever noticed the warm laughter of families bonding?
Have you? How did it make you feel? Did you feel your attitude, your being changing?
