I am an observer of people.
 These are my observations:
 If you smile at someone,
 they will smile back at you.
 Someone who did something wrong,
 will never look you in the eye.
 Happy people sparkle.
 Braggers talk loud.
 Children are beautiful
 and reflect honesty
 and goodness. 
Older people are valuable
 and love to share their wisdom.
 Those without
 are often more willing
 to give their last crust
 of bread 
more so than those with plenty.
 Those with plenty
 worry about hiding 
what they have.
 Happiness
 cannot be bought.
 Smiles are free.
 Frowns cause wrinkles.
 Worry is pointless.
 Jealousy is destructive. 
Envy is poison.
 Greed is contemptible.
 Joy is a choice of being
 Tears are a release of the heart.
 Your soul
 is a reflection of your life.
 Money
 is a mortal tool for power.
 It can be used for good or evil.
 It can be collected and spent.
 It can buy people and things.
 People who can be bought with money are sad people.
 Money does not bring happiness.
 Happiness just IS
 Money is just paper backed up by gold.
 If you can look in the mirror today
 and love yourself,
 consider yourself a success!!
 It matters not 
what brand of clothes you wear today,
 if you are kind and giving
 to another person,
 you are a good person!!
 The truth will always prevail.
 It is good to live honestly
 and love honestly
 and with a good
 and generous heart.
 Be true  to yourself.
 Sing to you own song
 and do not let anyone 
tell you how to live.
 Love yourself always.
 Give of yourself
 to someone less fortunate
 and your words
 will come back to you
 many times over
 with blessings and gifts.
 Be grateful
 for the food on your table 
and the simple things
 that keep you alive.
 Remember who you are
And remember today
Is a gift you give to yourself...
That is why it is called the "present"
Enjoy the moments 
and be alive every minute
of every day
and keep smiling
I like your smiles!!

Hmmm some good points, I smiled at someone, I got a slap round the face and a "what you looking at mate"

it takes 56 muscles to frown, 28 to smile and only four to lift your arm and punch someones lights out..lololol
