Thank you Ruvy for the many beautiful quotes about smiles from strangers. We cover our smiles with masks and I am despairing at the loss of our right to connect with other humans.
Here’s my quote:
I used to worry about what I looked like in public. Now my most important accessory, my smile, is hidden. I no longer care what I look like when I go out.
That’s a beautiful quote Cathy. Thank you! 🙂
“Wear a smile everyday; It keeps your worries right away”!
You’re right, Ruvy!
Have a great day,
Maxime
