Smile In Your Heart

Also Smile In The Mirror

The Torah says "Smile in your heart." Also it is said too "Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness and kindness in giving creates love."

What beautiful words and thoughts.

If you are happy one day, then you can feel your heart is smiling too. If you are thinking about kindness, you can be happy about accomplishing something you can do for someone else. If you are giving, then this kindness creates love. These interpretations in these 4 lines, are mine.

Mom used to say that Elita was the only child who would give her toys or books away, even though she had only a few books and a few toys. It was because I would see a child who had no books or toys, and it was I guess, that I felt good when I did it. So like the Torah said I was kind and therefore maybe that someone felt love.

When I would look in the mirror, I would see a nice child, eager to please her parents and even to want to please someone who did not have what I had, even though we were not rich, far from it, but who I could reach their heart. Then when they looked into the mirror, they would see a nice child too and maybe they could see they were smiling in their heart too.
