Just a smile to share this morning. Last week one of my students from last year stopped by at the end of the day, but I was in a meeting, so she said she’d catch up with me later. Yesterday, was the later.

“You ready?” she asked, walking up to my desk, a bit of twinkle in her eye.

I was sitting with a few colleagues, but I said sure. And she started singing.

“It’s a beautiful day for Smiles and Frowns…”

And I joined.

We then exchanged Smiles and Frowns.

That’s all she wanted. Just to check in and share a Smile and Frown with me.

Pretty cool that a former student can walk into a room like she belongs there, start singing a silly song in front of other adults, and lead her own “round” of Smiles and Frowns. Pretty cool, indeed. Made my day. Wanted to share.

Connections matter. Connections endure.
