This is Henry.
He is a vacuum cleaner.
I was vigorously vacuuming one day and, as I went around a corner, I realised that the pipe was stuck and I couldn’t pull it any further. So I went back to look at what the problem was and saw that I had pulled Henry right off his wheels.
As I looked down on him, I was struck by the fact that even though he was on his back, he was still smiling. In fact, whatever position Henry is in, he still smiles.
That really ‘clicked’ with me and I smiled, realising that I can be that way as well. No matter what life brings, I can choose to smile too…and so can you.
