Smiles and Laughter!

Smiles are important to me.  I can’t remember the movie this line is from but here it is: “I've never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.” I can say that a genuine smile is a beautiful thing.  I enjoy seeing people smile. I’m sure it is just part of my personality and it may be some deep need but regardless it is part of what makes me happy. I probably inherited this from my father.
Hearing laughter, genuine laughter gives me one of the warmest feelings I have ever experienced. Even after 23 years I still love to hear my wife laugh. I still love making her laugh. I enjoy making perfect strangers laugh too.
Anyway, W.C. Fields once said: “Start each day with a smile and get it over with.” It is a funny quote but it has a meaning; get the first smile out of the way and as the day goes on the smiles become easier.  Think about it, when someone smiles at you it is hard to not smile back. So Today, tomorrow, and the next day give a stranger smile.  It might be the only sunshine he/she sees all day and it just might make you feel good too.
