Magic Minute Smiling Magic

By Laurie Smale

MAGIC MINUTE // “Barely 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.

I’d say she’s in her late 90’s, 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 “Hello.”

Somewhat startled, a big smile lit up her weather-beaten face and eyes and the years simply fell away.

“Hello” she beamed, probably the first time she’d 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.

I’m Laurie Smale… Till my next Magic Minute.🪄
