Smile With Nature

 Smile With Nature  

“A glad heart makes a happy face."
Proverbs 15:13-15

“A cheerful look brings joy to the heart." 
- Proverbs 15:30

Dr Ana Maria Theresa P Labrador, honorary Senior Fellow of the University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, poses before a wall mural at the author's residence in San Vicente, Ilocos Sur.  She is a former director of the National Museum. She is on a field study as anthropologist. 

  
"Light seeps through a tunnel, and casts away darkness, 
as it enters the heart and kindles love and gladness."  avr

 
House guests delight in "climbing" a tree on a wall mural.  Most people have a common goal in life: to find happiness. Everyone can be happy in many ways. Go over the lyrics of Smile. Better still, sing it, listen to the song, play it with a musical  instrument, like guitar, or with the violin accompanied by piano.  My dad used to hum the melody of the song in his old age.  You can imagine the smile radiating on his face.  

     Smile
Nat King Cole

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile.
