“Frown and you frown alone, but smile and the whole world smiles with you.”

You can smile with the parting of your lips & showing the whiteness of your teeth or a glint in the eyes.

You look beautiful when you smile . . . your heart gets a lift, your emotion glows, your blues get swept aside

and people will find you such a delight.

It seems that nothing is more powerful to elevate a mood than the impact of a genuine smile. The benefits  are mutual. Yes, the old quotation may be true. “A smile is a little curve that sets a lot of things straight.” Here are some of the many benefits of a smile:

A healthier immune system

Helps to relieve stress

A smile inspires others

Helps to spread warmth & cheers

Smiling can increase your chances for success.

The next time you’re tempted to frown, remember another old quotation. “It takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty-three to frown”.

Smile like . . . when you were a kid

. . . to be beautiful when you grow up!

Even should your beauty fade . . . you can still look happy No matter what happens to you, keep a Smile on your face . . . !

Some of you oldies might share my old favourite song:

Smile (Lyrics)

Artist: Nat King Cole

Words by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons and Music by Charlie Chaplin

Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it’s breaking

When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You’ll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

That’s the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what’s the use of crying?

You’ll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile.

That’s the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what’s the use of crying?

You’ll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile.

Just to remind you of an old TV program: Smile, You’re On Candid Camera!

Have a Great Day !
