Here is a glimpse into my philosophy, something that is ever growing. I've discovered that when I write about why I do things I can identify whether what I do is something I should change. This is one which made the cut. Perhaps my reasoning will mean something to you; perhaps you'll better appreciate someone who shares their happiness with the world, perhaps you'll find yourself smiling more. Happiness is a choice as simple as a smile.

"Ah," she sighed, smiling slightly, "that makes me happy." He rolled his eyes. "Everything makes you happy."
She watched him for a moment then responded. "No, not everything makes me happy. I get angry and sad and frustrated like everyone else. I just always try to smile, even when I'm upset."
"Why?"
Again she took a moment to think. "Well, you never know what other people may be going through. Maybe someone really needs a smile, even more than you need to frown. Not smiling would be kind of selfish of me. What right have I to make other people miserable just because I'm having a crappy day?"
