  • Hello Ann Margaret…I know I’m too late for your give away, but wanted to stop by and say hello. What a beautiful blog post with the perfect seagull pictures to accompany your words. Something as small as a smile really can make a difference. You’re right, sometimes it can seem so rare, so it makes those unexpected smiles even that much sweeter. Merry Christmas to you and your family!ReplyCancel
