Here's my smile for the week.

One day a small, attractive, older woman came into the library. She told me with a heavy accent that she just LOVES the library, since thanks to us she learned to speak English! She would get books on tape and listen to them over and over again until she understood the words. Then she would come back for more.

"That's great!" I said. "How long ago was that?"

"Oh, almost twenty years ago, when I came to America from Poland when I was 62."
I about fell over--that meant she was almost 82! I had thought she was in her late sixties at the most.

A little while later she came to the circ desk with an armload of magazines. "I like to keep up on beauty tips," she said.

I decided on the spot, instead of plastic surgery I'll move to a foreign country as a senior citizen.
Her young-at-heart, infectious joy toward life kept me smiling the rest of the day.
