smile! It looks good on you.

smile

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.  ~Author Unknown

Sometimes when smiling is a little harder, a little dance can help. A little beat to the music. A little swish of the hips or a really really funny funny movie.

Sometimes we all need a little laugh.

Or a little cuddle

A little kiss

A little surprise that is all so sweet

What helps to put a smile on your face?

    The first and last pictures are my favorite for sure. So sweet! They defiantly bring a smile to my face! One day I am going to do a little rip tag thing of my own and stick it in the lifts at work. We all need a little pick me up now and again!
