[day 8: smiles]

last week, i was zoning out,
walking to class.
there was this cute guy sitting
on the floor, and he looked up
at me and said,
"pretty face like yours should have a smile on it."
and i broke out in a smile from ear to ear.
i couldn't help it!

but, it got me thinking.....
weird thing, smiling.
don't get me wrong.
i love to smile
[i've got smile lines and i'm 19]
it's crazy what a smile can do for you though
when someone smiles at you,
or you smile at someone,

you can't help but smile back, right?

well, i can't help but smile back.
but who would've ever thought
that something as simple as moving
a couple of muscles in your face could
cause so much happiness
[for you and others]

when i get a smile from someone,
it's a bright spot in my day
i'll probably remember that
[smile] the rest of the day.
my favorite smiles:
smiles from a baby
smiles at a wedding
smiles from someone you love
smiles from your family
smiles from your grandparents
smiles from your friends
smiles from someone you don't even know

my very favorite though,
are those that come from yourself.

the genuine smiles that come way down from your toes
all the way up to your lips
and stretch to your ears!
simply put.....i love smiling.
just remember to share yours.
you never know who is going to need it!
