Smiling is My Favorite

Smile- form one’s features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed.

When you look at life today, there is a choice. You can think of the difficult things or focus on the things that make you smile. A physical reaction takes place when you smile, endorphins are released into your brain, and you feel better. Even if you don’t have anything to smile about, smiling by itself improves your mood. Now imagine all of the things you do have to smile about, and that mood of yours will become downright positive. It begins with a focus on your smile and the thoughts, feelings, words, and actions that result from it. Let’s find your reasons to smile today. Sometimes it just takes a smile to change the world.

You are Amazing

Let’s start with the fact that you are amazing. That should put a smile on your face! Think of the things which make you uniquely you. The way you encourage others as nobody else can. The way you speak, sing, dance, run, think, feel, read, find, or any other thing you do uniquely, like no other person in the world. You bring a unique and dynamic presence to life, and life is a better experience because you are a part of it.

Think of the many times that your smile has made someone else smile in response. This reaction is because you are simply amazing, and your outward appearance of a kind and amused expression is enough to make other people feel good inside. So remember all of the fantastic things about yourself and make the world smile today! (And smile on the inside yourself)

Your Passion Makes You Smile

Follow your passion today, and let the emotions that result create your smile. You have talents that exist only in you, and when you explore them and share them with others, you can’t help but smile. Never worry about what others think of your passion and the activities that follow it. Expressing yourself, your thoughts, and your ideas in your unique way is part of being a great human soul. You are a world changer!

It is not for others to understand. Those who care about you will support and revel in your creations—those who don’t have their issues. Be patient with others and kind to them because their journey must be tricky for them. Smile because you can express yourself uniquely and thoughtfully. Your passions will allow you to enjoy the world a little more. Colors will be a little brighter, food tastes a little more productive, and life will be a better experience. Smile because of all this you bring to the world.

Smile Its All Around You

Love is the thing inside of you that will always make you smile. Think of the people that love you and care about your happiness or ever have. That should be enough to make you break out into the biggest smile. To gain that smilelove from anyone is a great thing. You are loveable, and when you smile, the whole world will stop and stare for a moment. You raise them with your love.

All thoughts are a choice between love and fear. To be kind, considerate, understanding, accepting, and just plain lovely, you are choosing feelings of love, and those thoughts will expand in a world where there are plenty of people wanting thoughts of fear, smile because you are one of the few that is ignoring that noise. Smile because you are a light in the world. That light is all around you. It makes me smile to think of.

Be Conscious of the Power of Your Smile

Spend some time today being conscious of all the reasons you have to smile today and the effect your smile will have on others. Look at your thoughts, the feelings they bring to the surface, the words and actions that result. This result is your gift to the world today.

Think of the sunny days of your pleasant past and those still to come. A smile will come to your face, and that smile reveals all of your goodness and strength. It is contagious, and one smile can spread from one look to another, and soon the whole world is a happier place.

“The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.”- Thomas Paine 

“Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody’s heart.”- Anthony J. D’Angelo

“Share your smile with the world. It’s a symbol of friendship and peace.”- Christie Brinkley

  What makes you smile?    

Smiling is my favorite
Mine Too!

I have always felt that the endgame in life was to experience happiness, and one of the ways that we show this is to smile. Smiling shows an appreciation for whatever is unfolding in your life.

There are many different smiles we share with the world, and I am here telling you that there are so many things that make me smile. I am not sure that I can mention them all here. I am trying to encourage others to smile and feel a bit more positive about life.

Good Things Make Me Smile

You are a good thing that makes me smile.
You are a good thing that makes me smile.

This is a generic way to say that I encounter many good things daily in the course of my life. Some are natural and don’t involve other people at all.

 Like the way, a sunlit morning looks on the trees or reflects off the water and tells me that life is moving and happening all around.  One look at the sheer space that a big, blue sky has to offer, and a smile has to come to your face.

 Look at the configuration, and if there are clouds, you are looking at a configuration that has never existed before and never will again.  That is reality, and that makes me smile.

People provide a lot of good things to smile about as well. A friendly wave, comment, or “how ya doin’?” are enough reason to smile.

 In these transactions, I can tell you for sure that the more smiles you share, the more you will see on the faces of others. Good things, a warm and delicious meal, a perfect glass of iced tea, perfectly constructed mac and cheese, all will bring a smile to my face because they are all good things that warm your heart and make you feel good about being alive. 

Kindness Makes me Smile.

be with who makes you happyThere is nothing more important in bringing a smile to my face than kindness. It can be the act of being kind to someone else, or it can be the gift of receiving someone else’s kindness.

 Try it sometime. Do something kind for someone, with no regard for yourself and what you will receive, and you will find a smile appear uncontrollably on your lips.  It is the same when you are the beneficiary of kindness, and smiles are the natural result.

Often when I notice how unhappy some people are, I wonder when the last time a transaction of kindness had entered into their life.

 It must have been some time if they are that unhappy about life.  Perhaps we need to make kindness a mandatory activity in our society.  Who could be against that?  Thinking about making a law about kindness makes me smile, apparently.

Memories Make Me Smile

one thing each day that makes you smileI have memories that sometimes I like to recall, and they make me smile as I remember the people and events that have positively touched my life.

Some are funny; some are just goofy, some were serious, some involved love, some involve friends, and some involve family.  All the “good” and “bad” in all of these relationships and memories combine today to make me smile as I reach into the past with my mind.

One of the great gifts our imaginations give us is the ability to reach out and touch these things at the drop of a hat.  To be with that person you haven’t seen for over 25 years or go back to that place halfway across the country or even the world.

  There are happy memories of special times spent with special people recalled and bring a smile to your face. It could be as simple as the food from a Pizza Joint or a local diner.

The smile is for the experience. Even though it is long gone, the love for the moment and the other people in it nonetheless are worthy of a  smile.

“Good” Entertainment

Stewie makes me smile.
Stewie makes me smile.

This is a completely subjective thing because what I think is good, you may cringe at, but the fact remains that good entertainment makes me smile. This covers everything you do yourself, like reading books, enjoying the artwork of others, and all things in between.

 There are jokes, and there are quips. There is the sheer beauty of a mind that you can observe and appreciate.  Who hasn’t laughed out loud at a television program or the circumstances portrayed in the pages of a book?

If you have never laughed out loud or smiled uncontrollably due to the art around you, then you need to reevaluate your activities.  In the last week, I have smiled because of television shows, music, art, writing, and the Boston Red Sox, to name a few.  There seems always to be a reason to smile if you look for it.

Smile all the While

Whatever it is that makes you smile and share your happiness and good nature with others, you should really start to spend more time doing these things.

There is no shortage of faces in the world, seemingly angry and upset about everything.  Smile at them because there are few times in life that your smile won’t make someone else’s day a whole lot brighter.  So the only thing left to know is……………..

What makes you smile?

Look around you every day and see there are always things to smile about. Simple things from freedom of movement, choice of activity, time spent with special people, a perfect sky, a new shirt, an old shirt, love, something that matters, fun for the sake of it, a new adventure, a favorite activity, seeing someone be successful, experiencing something for the first time, appreciating it may be the last time, a great meal,  any of the things we shouldn’t take for granted. Whatever it is in your soul that makes you smile today, do it and share your smile with the world.
