SMILE
A smile is worth a thousand words.
I know, I know. You heard that is was a picture that is worth a
thousand words. Well when I tweeted this though (posted at
http://twitter.com/amabaie ), one of my followers replied “does this
mean a picture of a smile is worth 2000 words?”
Cute. But that’s not the point. A smile is a picture. It says so
many things. It says, “I’m happy”.
It says “You’re OK”.
It says “I like you”.
It says “Don’t worry”.
It says….well, I’m not going to let this post go on for 1000
words. Why not hop on over to Twitter and tell me what else you think
a smile says? Just type in @amabaie and say your piece.

Hi,
Just wanted to align with both you and your follower to say yes, a smile is worth more than a thousand words in today’s environment. And that a picture of a smile is worth even more as it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
So…I’m smiling and with any good fortune, I’m creating more of that “good stuff” in every minute!

Here’s an interesting thing… even a fake smile can make you feel better! And usually others around you as well. Such power! Thanks for the post and the reminder.

@Elisabeth In fact, that’s one of the tips in my book, Climb Your Stairway to heaven: the 9 habits of maximum happiness. (Page 201, second edition).
The muscles involved in smiling change the blood flow to certain parts of the brain, making us feel happier. Smiling is a drug-free high.
