Smiles

A smile is like a Swiss Army Knife, every body should have one, they are used for many purposes and they are easy to carry around.

Think about all the different types of smiles:

There is the wide opened mouth smile of a baby that lights up their whole face.

There is the plastered on smile when you are having a bad day and really don’t want anyone asking about it.

There is the smile on a child’s face as they see grandma and grandpa in the audience at a school recital.

There is the smile of an old man as he holds the door for a lady to enter the room.

There is the smile of clinched teeth when inside you are screaming “you idiot” at someone.

There is the smile of embarrassment that you use when you cut off another driver.

There is the cheesy smile you use when you pose for a picture (sometimes this is a family trait.)

There is the smile that is so encompassing that your eyes seem to disappear behind it.

There is the smile of comfort you use trying to give someone support in a seemingly hopeless situation.

There is the smile of victory as you accomplish a tough goal.

There is the smile of defeat when you don’t win.

There is the smile on an old woman’s face as she cradles a small baby in her arms.

There is the smile on a dad’s face beaming with pride as his son turns his first double play.

There is the smile exchanged between a husband and a wife just because.

And the list could go on. Smiles are like a Swiss Army Knife, everyone should have one, they can be used in any situation, and they are easy to carry. Maybe we should all smile more?
