“A smile can open a heart faster than a key can open a door.”

This common saying reflects on more than a mere ability to open a door. It indicates the chance for a positive attitude. No matter what the task… no matter what the anxiety, we fare better when we learn to respond to life positively. Mom taught me this when I was a mere brat child, as she calmly stated… repeatedly, “You can make your bed with a frown, or you can make your bed with a smile, but you will make your bed.” I’m still smiling!
