Smile vs Skinny

I found out  that someone I had met  through my work had passed away.  As sad has it was to find out, all I kept picturing was his lovely smiling face. 

Now isn't that a beautiful precious way to be remembered by others - I didn't know this man extremely well but enough to know he was a gentle loving man who adored his wife and family and he was always smiling! He died smiling, I was told.

It just made me think, isn't that a lovely way to be remembered, either as loving or happy or kind - maybe just maybe, its not important to be remembered as SKINNY or THIN - umm, just maybe, we women get  distracted  when we are bombarded daily  with the latest diet, exercise regime, diet shake, skin care product, exercise machine, botox treatment, extreme make-over .............and perhaps lose sight of the important things in life or let the superficial things in life dominant our thoughts while we sub consciously care, love and nurture our families and friends......

Smile and just be YOU - no matter what shape or size you are.......you are beautiful

To be remembered for one's smile, how wonderful.....
