Smile

Smiling. That has been my weapon of defense this week. When work is daunting and my stress is boring down on me, I smile. When co-workers come up to me and inform me for the first time that I'm responsible for this and that, and I have no clue what they are talking about, I smile.

I just try to start the day and end it with a smile because I know that once I succumb to the negativity, I'll be lost in it. So, I'm smiling today, and the next day, and the next day, and the next...

"Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means." ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
