I wont ask, how you are or are things good with you. I would just want to know, have you smiled today? I feel, that's the most important thing that gets us going and nothing pays us more than a genuine sweet smile. It has manifold effect on the world.

Hi Mimpi,
Yes, I do smiled today and everyday. The mere fact that I was able to open my eyes in the morning is indeed an enough reason for me to smile and live my everyday life, and of course thank God for giving me another day to live, and to experience all God's abundant!..
Have a Bless Life! :)

I have smiled today ! many times in fact. I have love in my
heart for my animals and the summer picture that is opening
up outside with all it's glorious colors. the flowers are nodding
in the breeze and the sunshine bathes them in sweet yellow beams.
It's a great day ! I hope you have smiled today too:)

I can understand Ala. But nothing in life is permanent. Things going to change soon. Just try to let go and think of how you can do it differently. Let people say what they feel but you know what effort you have put in. You are the best. Just do not lose your esteem. Huggles

I have woke up in a good mood but I have not smiled yet today :) I have to fix my washing machine and my computer and that means I have to fork out extra money out of my own pocket. I am trying to fix the computer msyelf which will not cost me anything but the washing machine repair is going to cost $60. Not much I know but when you are on a tight budget every little expense counts.

I can understand ronald. Lot of reason to be upset. But have you tried smiling no matter what. An earnest smile from the heart? Just try and let me know.

This is the discussion that everyone needs today! My answer is YES! I can't go a day without smiling, but it's something that we don't normally think about. It's just if it happens or doesn't. However, I think it's just as important as you do. Smiling makes the heart light. It gives us an opportunity to give something to someone else. I smiled when I laughed at my hubby today. He was doing something with his game online, and it made me laugh so hard...he's so silly. Thanks for asking!

I have smiled multiple times today. My reasons for smiling so far include but are not limited to...recieving big hugs from my daughter, being able to bring a smile to my teenage daughter's face, watching my puppy totally friek out because of a couple robins in my back yard, and having my husband try to scare me while I was cleaning the kitchen. Regardless of how difficult times may get, I am always able to find a reason to smile. God has blessed my life with too many things for me not to find enjoyment in them on a daily basis!

I think happy people find happiness even in the drudgery and hardships. And you are blessed to have a happy heart. Keep exuding joy to others with your happy heart.

Yes, I have smiled today. I'm working reception, so I have to smile at everyone who walks into the office. But I like smiling. It's a simple thing and you have no idea how greatly it can change someone else's bad day.

I can relate to this being a part of the hospital industry. Smiling is a must and soon it gets to become earnest.

I used to work in the hospital as a nurse's aide and patient always commented on it when we smiled as so many nurses are so sober and serious and the last thing a really sick person needs is to be treated by a grouchy nurse or aide.
