They Cry-You Smile

Seeing homeless, crying children on tv can be a reason to smile.  No, you didn't read a mistake--the plight of thousands of Haitians, young and mature, reminds us that we have plenty of reasons to be grateful.  While we should help the earthquake-shattered victims, we also need to look at the big picture.  Our troubles are tiny in comparison, whether we are laid-off or dealing with less pay.  We must show our gratitude by smiling at friends, family, and anyone else we meet in our daily routine.  In this way, we can thrive and succeed.
