If we were to peek into the book of your year, what might we find? What magic do you carry that people need to look a bit deeply to see?
I wear my smile as though it were a vital garment to cover my extremities. I’ve done this for as long as I can remember, having people remarked on my smile over the course of my life. And while I’ve smiled through 2015 just as I always do, it seemingly hides the pain and suffering shut tightly underneath. I’ve smiled through a great deal of pain and misfortune, and while this year has been kinder, I have only nurtured the wounds of the past. They wounds and scars still hurt, and I think it must be magic that I’m capable of pretending to be as carefree and cheery as I do. Some days I fake it the whole way through, and others I find the little things easier and smile naturally. Smiling’s my super power. What’s yours?
Wishing you a 2016 in which you find yourself smiling inside as well as out.
