Are you having fun yet?
Sunny Smiles:
There is a facelift you can perform on yourself that is guaranteed to improve your appearance. It's called a smile. Laughter is like changing a baby's diaper - it solves a problem and makes things more acceptable for a while.
I believe that every time you smile, and even much more so when you laugh, you add something to your life. A smile is a curve that helps us see things straight. Janet Layne said, "Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important." Proverbs says, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine."A good laugh is the best medicine, whether you are sick or not.
The wheels of progress are not turned by cranks. Tom Walsh says, "Every minute your mouth is turned down you lose 60 seconds of happiness." Paul Bourge wrote, "Unhappiness indicates wrong thinking, just as ill health indicates a bad regime." It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside. If you can laugh at it, you can live with it. Smile, it adds to your face value.
It was only a sunny smile,
But it scattered the night.
Thus little it cost in giving,
It made the day worth living.
