a SMILE :o)

Hola everyone. Gonna get caught up on the past few days in a little bit, but I just wanted to share a quick thought.

The power of a smile.

Ticos' are an amazingly positive group of people; I am just beginning to meet people and remember names; but if I greet anyone with a smile...whether I know them or not, whether we can communicate (in my broken spanish or their english) or not, the smile is returned and I am made to feel welcome.

It is truly a global form of communication that can create a sense of community among a diverse group of people.

If you aren't smiling right now, think of wally with a big grin on his face...there thats better...see I can even make you smile over the internet, thousands of miles away...the Power of a smile :o)
