<p>Yes, I do&#8230; or at least, I try. I often receive comments (and compliments) on my smile. My desire is to ALWAYS bring joy to those around me. It&#8217;s amazing what a smile can do. Often, it&#8217;s the very gift that a person needs on a day that has left them weary.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a gift that is free and has infinite supply. There is no excuse to hoard &#8211; it is pointless. The world can never change my smile because it is not manufactured by anything of this world; I think of it as a gift from the divine ♥</p>

<p>When I look at the work of <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Matisse">Matisse</a> or any of the other artists of the <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauvism">Fauvist</a>[*] movement, I marvel at the courage to paint in such a radical style. Can I live my own life in such a radical manner? Do I have the courage to apply creativity to my life as a means to overcome adversity? Maybe, but I am leaning to yes. Being disabled doesn&#8217;t have to be the end &#8211; it is just another beginning&#8230; the beginning of radical creativity, acceptance, and gratitude. I can.</p>
