"Another method that Thich Nhat Hanh invites us to try
is to hang a reminder in our rooms
to smile when we wake up.
This reminder can be a branch, a leaf, a painting,
or some inspiring words.
It can be anything as long as it carries the message to us
to smile upon waking.
We can hang this reminder in the window, above the bed,
or anywhere where we will notice it upon waking.
Smiling to begin the day can help us
to approach the day with serenity and inner joy.
After we develop the practice of smiling upon waking
we will no longer need a reminder
it will become a natural part of our daily lives.
We will find that love and happiness have entered our lives
and are there to greet us when we wake up in the morning."

“Smile!
Smile, smile all the time.
Smile in Love.
Smile in Patience.
Smile in Knowledge.
Smile in Goodness.
Smile in self-control and perseverance.
Smile where smiles are impossible for human hearts.
Smile at all times, in all circumstances;
smile in the broad all-fulfilling, all-calm,
all-conquering Love and Light of the Experience
of God’s Omnipresence and Omnipotence.”
