The Joy of Enjoying Life

Sometimes I think we responsible adults assume that being playful might be interpreted as being childish, maybe even silly. Admittedly, nothing is more tragic than an adult who fails to gain the maturity and wisdom necessary to live a productive life. But equally tragic are adults who forget how to vent their playful instincts.

I believe in having fun, because I know that she who laughs, lasts. Whatever you do, whether it's jumping from airplanes, visiting the sick, or goofing off, do it well. Never lose your ability to scatter joy. And never forget to smile!

Smiles are like two-for-one coupons. Each time you let them spread across your lips, they light up the face and heart of someone else. Sooner or later a smile will come back around to you just when you need it most.

You can be an encouragement to someone you meet today. Life has its serious moments, but being just a bit kooky may be the secret to seeing yourself and others through good times and bad. So go ahead and make someone's day...make them smile.

In Him,
Dalinda
