Magic Minute Smiling Magic
MAGIC MINUTE // āBarely 5 weeks old my tiny grandson Vincent gave his proud Granddad a wonderful captivating smile which filled me with joy.
In contrast, I often come across a wizened old Chinese lady shuffling along with her walker on my Sunday walks.
Iād say sheās in her late 90ās, her expressionless face always lost in an ancient world of memories.
But this day I stopped; caught her attention with a gentle wave and said a warm āHello.ā
Somewhat startled, a big smile lit up her weather-beaten face and eyes and the years simply fell away.
āHelloā she beamed, probably the first time sheād ever uttered this word.
So in the spate of a few days, a smile from two people a lifetime apart, had weaved its heartwarming Magic on me.
Iām Laurie Smaleā¦ Till my next Magic Minute.šŖ
