Say It Like It Is and Give a Smile Away Today

Updated on August 29, 2012

'Smile', piano solo. Listen as you read.

Laughter is good for the soul, and smiles are exceptional greetings for friends.

"A merry heart does good' is what the Good Book says. So does the medical establishment, the psychiatric association, the television counselor, the self-help author, and maybe your grandparents. Maybe you!

So let's read between the lines, put some words together, add some verbal feeling, and give ourselves some tasty medicine. Let's have a cheerful smile session together. It won't take long and the benefits are longlasting.

Yes, even the silly horse laugh is sometimes in order!

Did you ever wanna get out of the rat-race? Me too. Smile as you're going, and don't getcher tail caught as you leave!

Roses are red, marigolds bad. Take out the trash or you'll wish you had!

Time is less than a micro-nano-quark of eternity. Take time to Laugh!!

Smiles ARE contagious. Catch one, then GIVE it away!

The only notes I sing are not-able! But I try. Go ahead, laugh!

Everybody's grandkids are special, but mine are just more special!

How many muscles to put a smile on your face?

Our face uses more muscles to frown than it does to smile! So if you are hesitant about doing exercise, just feel free to smile. Save the frown for sometime later. Maybe even forget where you left it.

There is no agreement found on the number of muscles it takes to smile - vs. a frown.   www.wiki.answers says it takes 17 to smile and 43 to frown. The Washington Post states it takes 13 muscles to smile and 33 to frown. The New York Times states it requires 10 muscles to smile and 100 to frown. www.snopes.com gives a smile 22 muscles and a frown 37. But Dr. David Song M.D. a plastic surgeon at the Univeristy of Chicago Hospital states it takes one more to smile than to frown - 12 and 11. Smile anyway :-)

Remember the song?

Smile, when your heart is aching, smile even though it's breaking. When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by. If you'll smile through your fear and sorrow, smile, and may be tomorrow you'll see the sun come shining through...If you'll just smile...

The giggly innocence of a chld's smile delights that same niche down in your own heart. Respond with your own, and keep in practice. Smiles are ageless!

We may say today, 'Nothing much good is ever FREE!'

Well...here's a FREE SMILE!  You can HAVE it for free and use it forever!

Been feeling BIONIC lately? I have some too: Teeth implants, eyeglasses, falsies, hearing aid, screws and metal. Whatever!

Yikes!  The flu is contagious!  But so are smiles, and we want to spread them around! Go for it!  Slather them all over the place. 

Heard any good jokes lately? Got any good gossip, the latest? Me neither!

I gotcha, I gotcha! I smiled first :-)

Left-handed poeple are especially smart, creative and efficient. That is why they can write so well with the wrong hand!

Sure, keep on smiling...everyone will wonder what you have been up to.

Time is what keeps everything from happening at once. God knew this and that is why He made moments.

Today is the day after the day when you were so worried about tomorrow. See?

Hey! Ballgames aren't everything! There is Scrabble.  Or TV.

T.G.I.F. -- Thank Goodness, It's Free! Give a smile!

Fred Flintstone's nephew wanted to know what a 'yabba-dabba' does. Uncle Fred told him it didn't do anything!

I know your day is busy and your schedule is tight. But here's a wish to let you know, you're loved with all my might!  SMILE!

I'm smiling too, just thinkin' of You!

Time is a diverse quotient, for it is both long and short - fast and slow. Yet its value remains the same. Factor it wisely.

My author-itis has been acting up lately. Got any helpful pointers?

A smile does not entitle the smile-ee to cheat at Scrabble!

Do you know what goes with a nice old codger? Yes, a delighted grandchild!

 Whatcha doing today that I can do witcha?

Support your local police.  Drive fast!

The latest greatest cure-all is now said to be...Yesterday!

As we get older it is nice that our wrinkles make our smiles look bigger!

Just thought I would perform my random act of kindness for today...

                                         You're it!
