When was the last time you smiled?

I mean really think about it. There's the inside jokes at work. There's the funny happenstance occurrences throughout the day. Even seeing someone trying to go through an automatic door only to realize that it opens the other way.  These sort of things MAKE you smile. When was the last time you smiled only because you wanted to smile? Just for the sake of it. Just to see how it will change your day. Or even just to see how you might change the day of someone else. Smiling is contagious we've all heard it but i challenge you to see just how TRUE it is.


I challenge you to try it. It isn't easy at first, especially if you are not used to it, but this one tiny change to your demeanor will make an enormous difference to your day. Smiling makes you look happy, and people are attracted to happy people. "If he/she is happy, maybe they can make me happy" Not only does smiling make you appear happy, it can actually alter your mood!

Give it a try. For one day. It may end up being the best day of your life. :)

This blog is intended to counteract all the negativity surrounding our daily lives. Today since I'm starting the blog I decided to go ahead and post something tonight [i got excited!]. But usually i will post on Mondays (isn't that day we all need the most convincing to get out of bed?). They may be posts covering the grand strokes of staying positive, or they may just be little things i notice throughout the day that make me laugh and smile and keep going. I hope that these things will make you laugh and smile too.
