Hello Joyce,
Thank you for you comment on my smile as you
have touched what has been said to me for years.
People often said to me 'butter would not melt in
my mouth' I did not fully understand this saying,
however over the years I have kinda got a grasp on
what they mean.
I am resilient, I do not get down and depressed for
long, I have a large quantity of hope which sustains
me through everything. Without this Hope and faith
to see me through I would be rendered defenseless
and just could not cope and would just lay down give
up and die.
I smile and laugh a lot as well as giggle. Sometimes
I giggle while talking and was once a habit because
I was self consciencious and did not have a lot of
confidence - now it is just part of who I am and I
accept this.
Yesterday when James and I were signing our paper
work on the house closing the Broker said to me that
I am a happy person and understood why people in
America are drawn to me (one is my 'Kiwi' accent - I
had said in our conversation that being in a new city
was not a problem for me because I can start up a
conversation with anyone, because on the whole Americans are so friendly)..and he said I am smiling while I am talking - I did not realise this was so pronouced. One does not see what they are doing
Kind regards
Amanda Martin-Shaver
