I bet you
can’t guess what I just found out…? June 15th is celebrated as
National Smile Power Day. Yes, it’s another National holiday that I’d like to
celebrate with you. This is one that you can participate in simply by sharing a
smile.
If you’re
not sure exactly how to participate in National Smile Power Day, below are a few
ways:
1. Say a simple hello to those you pass
by throughout your day
2. Share a joke with someone
3. Share a funny story with someone
Since I’ve
already smiled hello to a few people and shared a joke with a friend, I’m ready
to share a story. Here it is…
When I left
work one Friday, one of the tires on my car looked a little low. As I started
the car, sure enough, the low tire
pressure light was on. I stopped at the closest gas station along my route.
Thus, began my adventure.
Upon
arriving at the gas station, I had to get quarters for the air machine.
Quarters in hand, I was ready for my mission. As I took the cap off the tire,
it flipped out of my hand and rolled somewhere. I was crouched on the ground,
in a dress, searching for that miniscule cap.
The cap to
the tire was nowhere in sight. I gave up on finding it and shifted my focus to
putting air in the low tire. Although I wasn’t sure how much air I was putting
in, I could see the tire rising. Not wanting to overinflate the tire, I used my
best guess at when there was enough air in the tire.
As I
replaced the air hose all I could think was, I should have asked for a tire gauge for Mother’s Day. With the low
tire scene behind me, I pulled away from the gas station and headed home. But,
not before the check engine light
came on. All I could do was sigh and say, really?
This time I had to smile to myself.
Thought for
today…“Do not let the world change your smile, let your smile change the world.”
