(Nope.. this one is not about kid's brushing their teeth or how to get them to do so)
It’s about showing more teeth-more often. And not just for kids. For ourselves.
What comes totally free, naturally, spontaneously and freely? A friendly Smile :)
I can be incredibly selfish with my smiles sometimes. I kind of get into this weird habit of keeping them to myself. Giving them out only at certain times of the day. Saving them for special occasions.
I like my smile-may be my best feature. Weird that I most often tend to show more cleavage than more teeth eh??
So as of the beginning of this week I decided to smile at strangers, in particular, often. It really has a good effect! It’s awesome so far. I walk many mornings on the lake and pass many strangers. My usual thing is the “courteous head nod” while listening to my I-Pod. On Wednesday I tried no I-Pod and direct eye combined with an ear to ear smile. The receivers in most cases were a bit taken aback and gave me a courteous head nod in return ,but I felt really, really good anyways.
I don’t think my face has exercised to that extent in a long while since my personal trainer is not put that one on my program. In my case if it’s not on a list it seems not to get done :)
Next person was today. I was in my car at a red light and looked over into the next car. A (big) old lady in hers trying to get something out of her eye in her mirror. Once her eye was free of debris, she looked over and caught my eye. Another big, cutesy smile came radiating from my heart . And she returned it. Really... it truly started my day our perfectly./i have been feeling good ever since that smile.
Next in line for my spontaneous smiles..my family. Poor things will probably wonder if I am doing some serious drugs.
Happy Weekend Everyone!
