My dad
This is one of those special moments when you catch me smiling. When we are hiking and find a nice stream of cool water I just love to take a little walk into the stream. This is not my first stream, I have to admit. You should have seen my face when I saw my first stream in North Carolina. I was not smiling. I didn't know what to do. My dad had to convince me to walk into the water. I was a little scared because the experience was new to me.
give someone a hug

My Mom
Can you remember the last time you were given a big hug? When this happens to me it brings a smile to my face. I bet that happens to you too.
Try this - Just when someone you love least expects it, without saying a word, go up to them and give them a big hug. Watch what happens. Little bubbles of happiness will come out of them and they will get a big smile on their face. It happens every time. Try it and see what I mean.
