I Love to Be the Reason For Someones Smile

I just come back from picking up some things at the grocery store and something happened there that just made my Christmas.

Our town's tiny store right now is busy with familiar folks and strangers all picking up last minute items...

I was very athletic, so in school I was popular with the jocks. That is until the day when they formed a faternity in high school called key club and decided that it would be cool to pick on the less fortunate kids at school that...

Pushing my shopping cart through the grocery store randomly tossing items in I noticed a man standing by the eggs just staring at them. He had bread and I think hot dogs in his basket. I knew where he was because I had been there too...

There's a tavern I hang out at every week, and I enjoy the waitresses who work there (and they enjoy the fact that I'm a loyal customer). On Halloween, the tavern was holding a Halloween party. With my mother's help, we made special...

I feel so blessed in this moment. While my path is uncertain, I am gaining a better sense of confidence now. It's the little things that create the big picture. Some people say don't sweat the small stuff...I think they're wrong. Little...

I was fourteen, and my father's friend, the scultor and artist I mentioned in my first confession (and subsequently in my stories) Antoine, was talking to me about shapes, and female curves, and he was touching me, my shoulder, and my...

I love seeing others smile especially if I cause it... and it is rare.. being the cause of a smile.. :)

Knowing I have made someone smile simply makes me feel wonderful. To know that I have brought a little slice of happiness to your corner of the world gives me inspiration. It's those little connections we make with one another that are...

My Grandma passed away and we were going through photos trying to find a nice one of my grandma for her funeral. I found one, I just had to crop it as I was in the photo with her. She had the biggest smile on her face. I remember the...

Adrenaline moments...they certainly seem far and few between with life and the experiences it presents to us. However, every now and then, they come along and to quote a friend of mine, they are "better than eating ice-cream all day...

Smile.. it can go for a mile....:)

I love the way i can make you laugh on such a sad day, the way that you smile when you see me, the way you just love me so.. and most of all i love that smile of yours... it brightens up my day, that...

Unlike some people that I know,I've made my share of mistakes.There are some I hope I never make.One is to live my whole life and never being the reason for someone  to smile. My day has not been sucessful if I have not left a smile...

When I make someone smile, I think of it as a HUGE accomplishment. Not only because it happens to be a rare thing..Lol..but becuase I think smiling can help us with whatever problem we have..Even if it's only momentarily, we forget the...

There's a tavern my friend and I frequent. When we first started going to the tavern, my friend could pick up from her accent (and I eventually picked up on it) that she was origionally from Ireland.

This past Christmas, I decided to...

A smile is a beautiful thing.  I love to do things for the special people in my life because it makes me feel wonderful to see them smile. Maybe I am selfish but I had rather see them smile rather that receive any material present...

I work at a family run HUGE shop. I, along with the other workers who stay there, sleep in the attic. Me, my sister Cassie, and a girl named Nita are the only kids under 16 living there. Cassie (8) has short shifts. For most of the day...

I have the ability to generate a smile or a frown from people as most others do. That kind of power should not be scoffed at or taken for granted. I implore you to use your power for good, choose to make that smile and not a frown...

For so long, It seemed I was the reason for someone's anger, someone's pain, someone's frustration.
It is beautiful to be the reason for your smile. Your smile fills me with joy, especially when I can think it is for me. Your smile...

There is someone in my life who is very dear to me at this moment. He is so special and I love when he tells me that I make him smile. He has been hurt so badly and I am glad that at least I can bring some joy to his life. He is a...
