smiles...


Kids say the best things!  I was given the gift of knowing that I making an impact on the students at my school by merely smiling throughout this journey I am on.  One of my friends sent me a message today letting me know that her daughter saw me at school and she noticed that I had a hat on.  But she ultimately recognized that I am smiling now just as I always have done.  It is good for them to see that even when someone is sick there is still something to smile about during the day.

I am so thankful for my friend letting me know this because it is another reminder of why it is good for me to be at work through this time but how good it is for the students and staff to see that this disease is not going to win!  They are part of the army that is helping me battle against this monster!

Smiles are some of my best medicine!  It is empowering for me to smile in the face of this scary monster inside of me because I know that the love and faith I have will prevail.  Smiles from others lightens my burdens and reminds me of all the people who are behind me.  Please know that a smile is a powerful tool and should be shared often because you never know who it might help.
