LOVING LIFE... WHY NOT? BY SYLVIE O'CONNOR

Why not smile at a baby with enormous shoes on? Why not smile at a young stranger helping an old woman put her groceries in her car? Why not choose to help an old person put their groceries in the car? Why not choose to put a smile on your face while you’re doing it? Why not smile at the simple things in life? Why not choose to enjoy the simple things in life? Why not choose to enjoy the not-so-simple things in life?

What if you danced alone in the car while you listened to your favorite song? What if you danced in the pouring, cold rain? What if something terrible happens to you? What if you choose to look at the unknown with a smirk on your face? What if you took nothing for granted? What if you could make anything in life more fun? What if you could find joy, somehow, someway, in anything you experience? 

Why not love life? Why not put on ginormous shoes and go places you’ve never even imagined?
