Did you know that a smile is better than a frown?
Haha...you probably did. The fact is, it takes 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown. It also takes a lot of work from the face to let out a smile, but just think what good smiling can bring to the most important muscle of the body - the heart. There are more benefits of a smile than we can ever know!
It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. It makes you special in your own way. Anytime, a smile may bring you friendship, influence, beauty, goodwill, and joy. To some it means love, acceptance, forgiveness, appreciation, and approval.
A smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something of no value to anyone until it is given away. Wherever you go, remember to wear that happy, smiley face. You'll never know the blessings it will bring your way.
