Cats who teach me to fly…

I recently watched a Korean drama, “The light in your eyes”. The story talked about an alzheimer patient. What inspired me in this story was the alzheimer patient always put a smile on her face. I have come across people suffering from dementia and they are often miserly and angry. It is their sickness that cause them to behave in such a way but this old woman in the drama behave differently.

I don’t know what I would be if I get to live for another 10 to 20 years. I may be a dementia sufferer too but I really do not want to yell or scold anyone. I want to be the old woman in the drama. She loses most or almost all her memories and yet she never forgot to smile.

So I started to smile more, hoping to cultivate it into a habit. I smile when I’m sweeping the floor, bathe, drive etc… I want this smiling habit to become part of me. Even one day if I were to forget who I am, I would still not forget to give the little smile to others and this is the last kindness that I would like to give it to everyone.

So, SMILE! It’s free, it’s contagious and it shows generosity!
