We witnessed what a smile can hide recently with Kate Spade. God rest her soul.
Never assume someone is “OK” because they are smiling. Remember the Smokey Robinson song, “The Tears of a Clown”
Smiles, kind words, and kind gestures cost little or nothing. Give them freely to your brothers and sisters. We all have the same tears, the same fears, and a limited number of years.
And if someone has a mental illness, you just might save a life. (JM)
