Happiness and joy are beautiful and we
show those emotions by smiling and laughing. In my opinion, a
person’s smile is their best feature and I love smiles so much that
this week I’m just going to ramble about all the ways and all the
reasons why smiles are the best.
They are contagious
This happens all the time. Think about
how often people smile at you and what do you do? You smile back of
course! It happens with laughter, too. Even if we don’t know what
people are laughing about we feel compelled to smile and laugh right
along with them. So don’t be afraid to flash those pearly whites
someone’s way today, whether you know them or not!
They make you feel better
Try it right now. Smile. How great does
that feel? Did you instantly feel wonderful? I know I did. Next time
you’re having a bad day, make a choice to smile it out. It will
change the way you see the whole situation and you’ll realize that
joy can be found under any circumstances.
I learned this one from my dog, Daisy.
This is how she says good morning…
How adorable is that? What if we all
woke up like this? Well, maybe not lying on our backs looking for
pets, but you know what I mean.
When you wake up in the morning, put a
big grin on your face like this pretty puppy and greet your day with
gratitude and excitement.
Wrinkles from Smiling
I have a family member that I remember
was complaining about her wrinkles at a get together one night. While
she was talking I realized that her wrinkles were actually smile
lines. And every time she laughed that night, I saw the skin on her
cheeks fold even more and all I could think was how incredibly
beautiful those wrinkles really were. They were stories that were
written on her face. Stories of all the wonderful times she had in
her life, of all the laughs she shared with friends and family, of
all the happiness she experienced. When I wake up in the mirror to my
own smile lines one day, I’m just going to keep on doing what I did
to form them because they will remind me of all the joy I have felt
in my life.
That’s all I’ve got for now on this
topic! Go forth and share your smile with the world!
