sometimes a smile is contagious

Marsha is a sweet woman who tends bar at one of my favorite places. She's found someone who makes her smile in a way that just seeing her makes me (and everyone else) happy. You often hear of people glowing, but seeing it in person is infectious; it makes you believe that everything is a little better, brighter because they see the world in such an optimistic way. She smiled tonight and told me about her date and my life was happier because of her happiness.
