Summary:
Laugh as if it's funny, embrace as if it's love, and smile anyway.
Smile Anyway is a collection of daily motivations and thoughts to read and ponder every day of the year. Included are original quotes, poetic verse, as well as the random relatable grumbling. This book is meant to motivate and inspire individuals on a daily basis as it reminds us how similar the emotions and experiences are that we share with the whole of humanity. Despite varying circumstances, we all laugh, we cry, we hope, we despair, we endure, we grow, we fall and then rise, and we find reasons to celebrate on occasion. Enjoy a profound thought for every day of the year like the popular following:
"Anyone who takes the time to be kind is beautiful."
"There are many who don't wish to sleep for fear of nightmares. Sadly, there are many who don't wish to wake for the same fear."
"Gratitude doesn't change the scenery. It merely washes clean the glass you look through so you can clearly see the colors."
This book reminds us that while things exist to make us groan and grumble, we can find reasons to smile anyway.

Such Timeless Wisdom!
5 out of 5 stars
Such timeless wisdom. I absolutely love the short inspirational ideas. Richelle expresses her concepts couched in imagery and eloquence in a way that really does make you smile and feel the meanings deeply. I thought that I might just read a thought each day as they were labeled, but I found that I had to read at least a few at a time. They became an addiction, that had me finishing long before the year was up! An amazing read. ―Dean G.
