Wear a smile, one size fits all

Do you know that it takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty three to frown? Yet, smiling more often than not, seems so hard to do.

Indeed, don't ever under-estimate the value of a smile.

If you smile at someone, they might smile back! So, let's smile often and see if in fact that happens.

Let me share this interesting piece of truth with you. It is written by an author unknown but it means so much.

"A smile costs nothing but gives much.

It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give.

It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it.

Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.

Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give."


Keep smiling, even if it makes people wonder what you've been up to. It will but that doesn't matter.

As someone had said, "A smile is a powerful weapon, you can even break ice with it."

A friendly look, a kindly smile, one good act, and that's what makes one's life worthwhile. Try it and you'll be so glad you did.

Wear a smile, and be surprised that one size fits all!

Here's a 1972 favorite, "Wheels" performed by guitarist Neil Levang and backed by Lawrence Welk & Orchestra:
