Hi Ruth, I was just enjoying some wasabi peas, saw this little smiley guy, and thought of you. They usually make me tear up, but this one made me SMILE Hope you are having a great day! Best, Found by Smiley Captain Found by Smiley Captain Found by Smiley Captain Found by Smiley Captain Found by Smiley Captain I had a wonderful visit with the second graders at Indian Valley Elementary. We talked all about choosing your outlook in life. So much wisdom in those little souls. We also talked all about Operation Smile and the incredible work they do. I was able to share with them about my trip, in March, to Paraguay with Operation Smile. They expressed empathy that would make you tear up. I read the A SMILEY BOOK OF COLORS and the we headed out to the playground for a Smiley Hunt! They were Smiley experts! I saw a street vendor’s stall about to collapse and ran to help her to right it and then stayed to help her pack it all up. She gave me a pair of earrings made from old BART tickets. I love BART! I love my new earrings. Offering to help a stranger doesn’t always come with a reward–oh yes it does, the reward is the good feeling you get! For Wear Purple for Peace Day– May 16! Belfast and Derry, in Northern Ireland, from space. Very happy places. Found by Smiley Captain Alex Murphy An improvised dinner lead us to this yummy and healthy smile!
