Yesterday, as I was walking out to my car, a little girl about four years old was walking with her mom and dad.

She smiled at me and said "hi!" Of course, I couldn't resist smiling and saying "hi!" back. As we all got to our cars, I said "Merry Christmas!" and the mother said "Thank you. Same to you."

That little girl smiling at me and saying "hi" just made my whole day! I was in such a great mood after that. It's funny how such a little thing could bring me so much happiness.

We become butterflies when we step out of our cocoons into the world of joy.
