WEEKLY IMAGE OF LIFE: SMILE
Plant Smiles, Grow Giggles, Harvest Love
Smiling is infectious,Â
You catch it like the flu,Â
When someone smiled at me today,Â
I started smiling too.Â
I passed around the corner,Â
and someone saw my grin,Â
When he smiled I realized,Â
I’d passed it on to him .Â

I thought about that smile,Â
Then I realized its worth,Â
A single smile just like mine,Â
Could travel round the earth.Â
So if you feel a smile begin,Â
Don’t leave it undetected -Â
Let’s start an epidemic quickÂ
And get the world infected!

When I was in New York a few months ago, I couldn’t resist going into the M & M’s store in Times Square. Â I am drawn to the happy yellow M & M’s that make a grown woman smile silly.
Get infected! Â See more smiles on the Island Traveler’s site, Weekly Image of Life: Smile. Â Catch a smile today!
BE ENCOURAGED! Â BE BLESSED!



Seeing the smiles always makes me smile.

I didn’t know there was an M&M store! Your post brought a smile and a plan to visit the store when I return to NYC. Mmmmmm. Did you make a purchase?

You could not miss it. There is a large light up billboard and another banner billboard displaying all the antics of the M & M characters. Of course I brought a lot of things there from tee shirts to key rings. (smile) We fought over them when I got home.

I’ve been to the M&M store. I brought home plates and mugs for my entirely grown up kids – just because both the kitchenware and my 2 wonderful kids make me smile!
And today, so did you!
Still smiling!!!
