It takes a lot of work from the face to let out a smile, but just think what good smiling can bring to the most important muscle of the body... the heart. - Author Unknown

I had an amazing day.  I was asked to do a talk about my trip to Bulembu, Swaziland to a ladies church group.  I don't particularly like doing public talks, but figured that it's worth it to spread word for Bulembu and the amazing work that they do.  Little did I know, I would be told that they would donate $100 to the charity of my choice.  My heart smiled to hear that $100 would be going to Bulembu to help out.  It's truly amazing how generous people can be!

Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold. - Maurice Setter

It's been too long!

My day wasn't a very exciting day.  In fact, it was fairly uneventful.  It began around 9am when I woke up, and my heart smiled almost immediately.  You see, I was able to lay in bed till 10:30am reading and cuddling with my cat, and if that's not a reason for my heart to smile, I really don't know what is!  After finally rolling out of bed and making my way downstairs, I asked my sister if she would like to go out for lunch.  I highly suspected she would say yes, so we went for a nice quiet lunch around the corner in the afternoon.  My heart smiled to be able to have a nice lunch with my sister.  She's going away for a week, so it was nice to be able to have a chat with her before she leaves for sunny Cuba!
