There are lots of ways to get to a smile that are not hard to do, and thinking of someone we love is an easy one. As you think of that person, and how much you love or appreciate them, you start to smile from inside. My card today celebrates the people that bring us that joy and make our lives better.

Live with Passion is such a good motto to live by. For anyone that knows me, you know that I can get very passionate about things I believe in. I try to live each day to the fullest, loving life and all it has to offer. Of course I'm human and have bad days, but I try to focus on the positive, and live my life with gratitude. It is just as easy to find the good things in life as the not so good, the choice is up to each of us.
