My husband was away on detachment with the Royal Air Force. My parents were away too and although I have some good friends on this particular day I felt totally alone.
Feeling quite grey I decided to visit a local supermarket.
While I was there a lady made eye contact. (I use a wheelchair and people usually look over my head.) She gave me a lovely smile!
The moment was brief but my heart swelled and the grey-ness vanished!
That lady will never know how much her smile lifted my spirit - but I will never forget it!
As the saying goes, "A smile costs nothing to give." But it might be worth more than you could imagine to the one who receives it!
