Last Chance
SWEETEST FRIENDS - I'm reprinting a old post from a few years ago from the beginning of Adar. So if you are depressed, you must know - this is your last chance. In a few days it is ALL OVER. Happiness will reign as Adar enters next sunday night. As part of my preparations I have been giving a series bs"d on "Ad Di'lo Yada" - here is # 4. The first three are also on Yutorah.
"Wear A Smile And Have Friends, Wear A Scowl And Have Wrinkles. What Do We Live For If Not To Make The World Less Difficult For Each Other" [G. Eliot]
That's it. It's over.
Anyone who is: dejected, depressed, despondent, disconsolate, melancholy, downcast, sad, forlorn [two lorn + two lorn], low, in the doldrums, gloomy, disheartened, discouraged, grieving, sorrowful etc. etc. etc. No more.
IT'S ADAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FREILICH, TYERE YIDDEN! [I won't overwhelm you with all of the synonyms for happy, joyful, merry, jovial, elated, cheerful, jocular, buoyant, exhilarated etc. etc.]
A sign we put on the wall in the childrens bedroom:
THE SMILE
It doesn't cost anything, but it's worth a fortune
It enriches the receiver, while not impoverishing the giver
There is no person so strong
who can exist without it
There is no person so powerful
For whom a smile will not add
There are some tired people that in order to enable them to smile at you
SMILE AT THEM
Because -
There is no person who is in need of a smile
as much as a person who is unable to smile.
