Smiling?!?! YES! Here’s some random facts picked up from
various online resources:
A Smile Makes You Look Successful - "A smile conveys
confidence and professionalism," says Lily T. Garcia, DDS, DDS, MS, FACP,
president of the American College of Prosthodontists.
Believe it or not, forcing yourself to smile can actually
make you happier. - Researchers measured [student] brain activity while the
students followed instructions to smile using the muscles in their cheeks and
around their mouths. Whether the students smiled spontaneously or on purpose,
the activity in their brains was virtually the same. They felt happy.

"When someone has a big smile, it shows they’re willing
to open up and expose a part of themselves," says Pamela McClain, DDS,
president of the American Academy of Periodontology. Over the long term,
smiling can benefit your health, perception at work, social life, and romantic
status.
God’s word says:
Proverbs 17:22 A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful
mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
My prayer today is that (regardless of any difficult
circumstances you are facing) you would choose to SMILE.
