I found this sign out in the Flea Market last week. The colors attracted me first. And, of course, the big orange “LOOK” demands a certain action. I obeyed. I took the picture because I thought it was interesting, but then I got a little closer and actually read it. I started to feel a little convicted. I read it again.
It doesn’t say “be happy.” It says, “be SO happy.”
I consider myself to be a happy person. But does it show on my face? And if it does, are other people inspired to to be happy too just because they saw me? I would love to do that for the people who happen to pass by. There are plenty of grumpy people to adversely affect the moods of humanity. Just think what it could do to our world if we all walked around being SO happy that others would become happy too just because they were in the same vicinity!
I’m wondering if the vendor who hung this sign in an obvious place in the Flea Market was motivated by his or her desire to make the world a better place. It worked on me!
For that I say thank you! From now on I’m going to remember to tell my face to get its “happy” on!
You just never know who might notice!
