I'm attempting to make up for being late with my May and June entries by being very very early with my July one!
Of all the quotes that have come into my life this month, the one which has stayed with me the most is:
"I've never seen a smiling face that wasn't beautiful!" Author Unknown
A nice thought to hold on to as we negotiate this perfection-obsessed world we've created with its sometimes crippling over-emphasis on our physical bodies. A genuine and infectious smile is indeed a glimpse at the beauty of someone's inner world - and an indication of the health their emotional and/or spiritual aspects are enjoying in that moment. Given due attention and a consistent workout, these aspects of our being can continue to strengthen and deepen no matter what mischief the passing of time has wreaked on our physical bodies.

It's hard to smile wide enough!!
