A Simple Smile

A smile is a powerful weapon; you can even break ice with it.  ~Author Unknown

Every day I stand outside and watch my children board the bus. As the bus driver rounds the corner to head to school I always wave and raise my cup of coffee to her. She always waves and honks.

Over the winter break I missed this daily exchange and told her yesterday afternoon when I met the bus. She said my smile and wave every morning makes her day. I was reminded what an impact a simple smile and wave can have on another person. Smile at your colleagues and students today because…

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

-Mother Teresa
