Oh man, Mary! Not the update I was asking for in my previous post! I thought you were still giddy in love but I guess that was a while ago. I know you’ll find your person soon. How can you not make someone special smile the way you make your readers? That’s a good reason to fall. Loved this post regardless of my disappointment. I hope to be one of those women someday too.

I get exactly what you’re saying Mary and I see that particular smile when I’m out and about. I actually MAKE that smile almost every day myself. I really enjoy seeing things through Fons-colored glasses!

It’s interesting that we assume Mary is talking about a woman’s love for a man in this (beautiful) post– when actually there’s no mention of gender regarding the imagined spouse, or lover, or crush– gender only comes into it when the writer looks forward to her own Spring fever induced smile.

Sure, a woman’s smile isn’t dependent on love, but we see ourselves and our own desires reflected in others, whether it’s true or not. And in this case, I think the spark of love is a benevolent assumption.

I know what you mean Mary- I have been witnessing it myself were I live. I love to see the little grins, smiles and content faces in my neck of the woods. Thanks for sharing!!!

Maybe a woman smiles because she has a woman in her life – or she’s just happy being by herself. There are all kinds of reasons to smile and in this horrific time we’re going through in our country I think that it’s more important than ever to not think that our happiness depends on men.

Being part of, both of you, together is delicious, devine and delovely. I believe their is a soul mate, kindred spirit for each of us. I also believe that the TIMING of our meeting is part of that DEVINE planning. You are good, great and fabulous RIGHT NOW and I mean RIGHT NOW. There will come a time when your future takes a turn and that someone appears when you least expect it. You can then have that shared secret smile known only to both of you. You have fun this day!

It’s the little things that make me smile. This morning a little banter with an old man (didn’t know him) and we both went our opposite ways and smiling. Just a “good morning” to people on walks just cheers most people up. There are those that are sceptical and think you are up to no good. The other day for the first time a racing cyclist said “lovely day isn’t it?” as he raced by and we agreed. But it was pleasant – a lot of them want you out of the way, always an exception, sadly all too few here. The sun shining (here after a monsoon of a night) makes me smile – whoohoo – just a Tigger stuck up a tree type of day now. A waft of a gentle breeze as I go to sleep makes me smile (yeah, much more gentle than outside at the moment). Oh all sorts make me smile – even watching bees or feeding the wild birds, a smell of a scented flower, clouds you can make shapes out of etc. Hmmm, maybe that’s why some people look at me with suspicion – they think I’m weird! LOL!

So are you saying that you need a man in your life in order to smile ???? For shame. Yes a man in your life is fine, but you do not need one in order to walk down the street with a smile on your face
