There are moments along the THPL journey when it is good to give ourselves the opportunity to smile. The smile can come from anywhere, a chance encounter with someone, a stray positive thought, an unexpected compliment and then of course there is the smile that is connected with a “treat”. And while it might be a bit gratuitous it is ok for us to feel good about that which is considered a treat. And as it turns out August 10 is now National Smores day, that combination of chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker that when heated becomes a delicious messy treat. Embracing this fun side of life is good for our soul and brings out a smile that just makes us feel better. With a simple treat we can transcend much of the craziness that goes on in our lives and enjoy not just the moment but the bigger picture that tells us life is good indeed….
