A smile is nature's best antidote for discouragement.
It brings rest to the weary,
Sunshine to those who are frowning,
And hope to those who are hopeless and defeated.
A smile is so valuable that it can't be bought,
Begged, borrowed, or taken away against your will.
You have to be willing to give a smile away
Before it can do anyone else any good.
So if someone is too tired or grumpy to flash you a smile,
Let him have one of yours anyway.
Nobody needs a smile as much
As the person who has none to give.
R and R tip # 96: Relax and SMILE!
How wonderful to give and receive the priceless gift of a smile. It brings rest to the weary, sunshine to the sad and hope to the hopeless. Did you know there is power and strength in a smile? An act that takes only 17 muscles, possesses the power to transform attitudes, makes us stand taller, and encourages millions.
Smile, even when you don’t feel like it. Your smile is one of your most effective offensive weapons. It makes your enemies wonder what you are thinking.
Spread the joy. We are unaware of the battles another person may have to fight. An act of kindness such as a genuine compliment, opening a door, or allowing a shopper with only 2 items to check out before you, can be the unexpected gesture that makes them feel valued and keeps them in the race.
Life is good, especially as you smile and encourage others. I may not always smile first....but I try to when I remember. I never ignore a smile though. If one is given. I give back.
I remember smiles that I've been given. Some were from people I saw only once, yet they lightened and brightened my day.
Bring some rest to the weary today, be it yourself or someone else. Smile! You'll feel so much more relaxed!
The wish is old,
The wish is true,
Happy Easter
My friends to you!
Love, Live, Laugh and Be Happy!
