What's in a Smile
We stand out in a crowd when we smile. By smiling, we can reduce our stress levels, and therefore, improve our general health. We can even appear more attractive when we smile. Furthermore, frowns, scowls, and grimaces often turn people off pushing them away, while a simple smile will draw them right in.

Smile, a natural painkiller, most people are aware of the happy feeling of euphoria experienced after strenuous exercise, sex or listening to a favourite piece of music, but not many of us know that we can also get a happy hormone rush when we smile.
Research has shown that smiling releases endorphins (a natural painkiller) and serotonin into the bloodstream. The combined actions of these hormones help to make us feel good, giving us a natural high when we smile.
Smile for a younger look, the muscles we use when we smile also lift the face, giving us a younger look. So why not put that expensive facelift on hold and just keep smiling, soon you'll be feeling better and looking so much younger.

Keep right on smiling. Let your smile change the world, but don't let the world change your smile.
Make a Wave Spread a Smile
Hunted by grief, loneliness etched her face
On she trudge; each step harder than before
A sympathetic stranger smiled hello
In the ancient face once set in stone
Eyes sparkle and a warm wave begins to spread
Muted commuters riding the early train,
Heads hung low, avoiding all human contact
The morning paper their unbreachable wall
Shattered by the giggle of a little girl
Eyes sparkle and a warm wave begins to spread
His boss on his back cannot do right for wrong
So harassed and torn, he wears a constant frown
But at the end of day when his work is done
Immersed in the warmth of his lover's sweet smile
Eyes sparkle and a warm wave begins to spread
She was the perfect pearl, selfless and giving
Then Alzheimer's struck in the cruelest way
Her essence lost as her memories fade away
But the ghost of her lover lit her grandson's smile,
Eyes sparkle and a warm wave begins to spread
A chain reaction all over the world
Infectious; it spreads, so just pass it on
Quirky, enigmatic, crooked or wide
It will ignite on contact heart to heart
Feel the sparkle as warm wave begins to spread
