What a lovely way to pay it forward. My favorite lines “What of MY reward? Multiple fold of YOUR investment.”. If only we could all see that giving gets us more than wanting 🙂
Well, the next time someone laments that (s)he does not have cash or time to spare – show her/him the way. Of course, after we’d first gone down that way 🙂 😀 😆
He who gives all of his little gives more than he who gives some of his all. So it is with smiles, I reckon and what a challenge that. The guy up there didn’t make it easy, did he 🙂
Excluding in-laws, right? Hehe
Yes, some in-laws are minted in hell I suppose.
A smile is all that is needed in this world. If only everybody would do it 🙂
Yes, when it comes down to it, it’s simple to start but the chain can be easily broken too.
Peace,
Eric
Bonjour-Hi Eric! 🙂 We have a French saying, here is the word by word translation:”be kind and smile, it’s free, it doesn’t cost you anything, but it may bring you back a lot!” 🙂 – I do agree… 🙂 Cheers, Mélanie

My very best and friendly thoughts from Toulouse, France, “old Europe”… 🙂
Hello Melanie,
Thank you for this visit and comment. As I replied to another comment – nothing new here but worth repeating, eh 🙂
All good wishes from sunny Singapore 🙂
Eric
P/s Your blog is in French, no 🙂
We’ve heard this before, but you conveyed so cleverly, Eric! 🙂
Thank you, Lauren.
Nothing new here, I agree – but certainly worth reminding ourselves 🙂
All good wishes,
Eric
Great words of wisdom from a wise man.:)
Thank you Joyce,
Have a smile filled week,
Eric 🙂
Thank you. You too. 🙂

A genuine smile, priceless. Hard to do when life is beating you down, but returned tenfold when you manage it.

All good wishes and smiles 😀

If frowning creates more folds than smiling, have to go for smiling then. Both are free but at least the latter costs less lines on the face..LOL.
Jasey dearest,
Yes, frowning causes more wrinkling than smiling – that ought to be good enough reason to replace frowns with smiles 🙂 😀 😆
Luv and hugz,
Eric
Genuine smiles are best, but sometimes imitation ones have to do 😛
The things that give us so much require a small investment. Great post !
Yup – no more excuses for not being generous 🙂
