A smile: priceless!



I love when someone tries to make me smile, don't you? And doesn't it feel good to make someone else smile? There is just something about a smile that says everything is going to be okay. I found a great website I wanted to share with you all: http://www.makeachildsmile.org/featured_kids.shtml

I hope you will all share a smile today! If not through this website, then with someone around you...one more way to shine your light.

Just some thoughts:
A smile is a facial expression formed by flexing muscles most notably near both ends of the mouth, but also around the eyes. Among humans, it is customarily an expression of pleasure or amusement. Happiness most often causes the smile to occur.Smiling not only changes a facial expression, but can also make the brain produce endorphins which reduce physical and emotional pain, and give a greater sense of well-being.
Definition: look happy, beam, grin
Antonyms: frown, glower, scowl

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~Author Unknown

Keep smiling! :)
