Each morning, I watch the children at my school leave their parents and walk into Blaney Elementary School. I can't help but smile when I see them skipping from mom's car towards the front door. Most times, the skipping is accompanied with a big smile. Little girls with pony tails that sway back and forth also reveal the spirit of the heart-filled with joy. How sweet and innocent those behaviors are but they reveal so much. Just like skipping, whistling reveals the heart of a person. In The King and I, the main character Anna, sings a song about whistling a happy tune when she is afraid and in Snow White and 
the Seven Dwarfs, the dwarfs whistle while they work. If you don't have a joy filled heart already, once you begin to whistle you will.Next time you need a quick pick me up, try skipping a few yards or start whistling a familiar tune.
We can learn a great deal from observing children. Their innocence, naivete and pure child like faith can quickly return us to the simple days and joyous hearts.

Someone caught me at work earlier this week whistling and commented about it. I didn't even know I was doing it, but it sure made an impression, so I'm going to take your advice and whistle more often!
