Fresh start 17467 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 I've always loved the beauty of a smile. Whether its Christmas morning and people are open presents and the smile is from ear to ear, or perhaps its a baby smile or even a total stranger smiling. I've been told I have a very nice smile, as much as I enjoy the compliment I never really believed it, until the other day I had an epiphany. I was lying beside a beautiful lady and she was smiling. I was in complete awww at her smile, it was so beautiful and peaceful. I was put into a state of ease and warmth. I never felt so relaxed from such a simple thing. Then it hit me, I've never seen an "ugly" smile so those compliments must be sincere and even if they weren't who cares a smile to me will always remain beautiful. I can't be the only one who love a smile so remember to smile once in a while its free. You got nothing to lose. I know I sure will. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emiafish 30979 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 I like smiling at strangers I pass on the street. I always tickles me when I smie at someone who seems to be a study in black only to have their face brighten with a return smile. The majority of people I smile at return the smile without thinking, like a reflex. I like to imagine how much more pleasant it would be if we only smiled a little more often. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midnite-Energies 110563 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 I read something many moons ago that has stuck with me. It was that a true genuine smile will not just impact the mouth but the eyes. When the eyes are smiling as well as the mouth, you have touched someone. When the smile does not reach the eyes, the smile is a response and is painted on. I tend to look at the eyes and the whole face now. If a smile doesn't quite touch the eyes, if I'm in a position to, I'll make sure they're ok. I often smile "just because"...the air smells wonderful, you see a cute scene, see something beautiful or inspiring. I think even the smiles you give yourself are gifts and sometimes those gifts touch others. Just because you smile to yourself doesn't mean someone else didn't see it and in turn smile. Lovely thing about smiles, they are contagious and create wonderful energy. Pass a smile on today even if only to yourself. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Jessica Lee 43328 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 I was trotting into the grocery store recently and a gentleman was on his way out. I can't remember what was on my mind but it had me smiling...so when he looked at me and I gave him the biggest, warmest smile. He appreciated it so much he actually said to me "well that's a wonderful smile! so infectious!" and he smiled just as brightly as he walked past me and towards his car. It's guaranteed he passed it on to someone he encountered afterwards. It's more contagious than the common cold.... smile and the world smiles with you :D 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PistolPete 61421 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 I've posted this poem a couple of times in posts before, it means a lot and the words say it all..... A smile costs nothing, but gives much- It takes but a moment, but the memory of it usually lasts forever. None are so rich that can get along without it- And none are so poor but that can be made rich by it. It enriches those who receive, without making poor those who give- It creates sunshine in the home, Fosters good will in business, And is the best antidote for trouble- And yet it cannot be begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is of no value Unless it is given away. Some people are too busy to give you a smile- Give them one of yours- For the good Lord knows that no one needs a smile so badly As he or she who has no more smiles left to give.

Ice4fun 78407 Report post Posted February 15, 2014 For most of my life I was known as a person who always had a smile... who took great pleasure of bringing a smile to someone else's face however the joy that filled my life was suddenly lost 5 years ago and I have not been that happy guy and did not think I ever would be again. In the last year because of the kindness of others I have seen hope for the future return and I gave smiled more.... and it us amazing the impact that smile can have on you and on others. Just last week a wonderful lady went out of her way to do something special for me... this simple act of kindness put a smile on my face that morning and gas impact my outlook for the whole week. The smile you pass along today may be the helping hand that people you meet need to get through their day. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
