~ The Power of a Smile ~ : )

"A smile is a curve that sets everything straight".

 ~Phyllis Diller

Have you ever noticed just how contagious a smile is?  Even with a total stranger - just for that one moment there is a connection . . . a smile given - a smile returned.  Have you also ever considered just how powerful a smile is?  Try it - smile.  Right now as you are reading this.  Do you feel something different this very moment?  Even if you don't feel like smiling - just do it.  Did you know that by simply smiling, can increase the endorphins in your brain chemistry?!  Just by smiling.  Cost's nothing - and makes you feel great!

Try this test out.  Get a partner.  One partner is #A and one partner is #B.  On the count of 3, partner A is to have a huge smile, partner B a frown.  See how long it takes for the smile to overpower the frown.  It works every time!  Switch partners smiles/frowns and on 3 try it again.  It's like magic.  The person with the frown will never win.  A smile is so much more powerful!  Even the word: "smile" produces the position of a smile on your face right after it's been pronounced!

So, today - S M I L E   : )

Even if you don't feel like it - do it.  And be sure to give one to a stranger as well. 

It might be the only sunshine he see's all day.
