SMILE!!!!!

Smile….

 Me: a person who is supposedly “morose, gloomy & who wouldn’t smile even if his life depended on it” L

My brother calls me a Dementor- 1 who wipes the smile off ur face jus by looking at u!!!

And today I’m talking abt “Smile” J…ya right!!!! 

I meet this very close friend of mine; like after 7-8 months; and she tells me you are looking good…I ws like thank you so much…I really cherished tht compliment coz even a blind woman wud never say that after seeing me!!! But then she says..”rather u are looking happy and “gay” coz u r smiling!!!” (She just had to say tht!!L). So then we start talking abt the need to smile…it seemed a bit odd coming from sum1 who smiled a lot more than me…definitely..say like 1ce in 3 days!!! J… (but now she smiles a lot more!!!)

We tend to keep our smiles hidden… it’s almost as if we have to pay a premium for a smile. We are buried so deep in our so called worries and difficulties, tht we think the last thing we need to worry about is if we are smiling or not..thts exactly the point tht I’m tryin to make..this very thought process makes our life gloomier if not more wretched that it already is!!

Everything that I say might sound clichéd but smile is that beautiful thing which connects two ppl…it does not cost u anything…it jus takes a moment to smile…but tht impact…is lasting!!

 “Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.  It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.  ~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.”

 Thts the bond that u make…it’s just not the connection that u make with others…its is also what u giv to urself..a sense of happyness, contentment & peace!!! U jus feel good abt urself..thts the power that smile has…

 I’ll sign off the way I like the best-with a couple of  poems

 “There's Sunshine In A Smile”

            by Helen Steiner Rice

 

Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,
Laughter and pleasure, teardrops and rain.

All days can't be bright but it's certainly true,
There was never a cloud the sun didn't shine through.

And you'll find when you smile your day will be brighter
And all your burdens will seem so much lighter.

For each time you smile you will find it's true

Somebody, somewhere, will smile back at you.

And nothing on earth can make life more worthwhile
Than the sunshine and warmth of a beautiful smile!!
