Today Is World Smile Day

Introduction

Today I am going to Inverness for a birthday weekend with Fiona, so I got up at 4:30 AM (I did go to bed early), and it is a five-hour journey up north, though when I go to Orkney, it will be a longer journey, including either ferries or flights.

When I switched my computer on, the search icon told me it was World Smile Day, which means this can be an example for this month's challenge, which you can join in with here:

The music is "Give Birth To A Smile" by Roger Waters from his collaboration with Ron Geesin, which you can find more about here:

Smile Today

I always try and smile at people, although I don't think my smile is that great. I do love it when people smile at me, and some of my friends have the most wonderful smiles, and their smiles really make me happy, because I assume they are happy to see me.

The World Smile Day site is down, but here is a BBC article

This is a smile from my Granddaughter Alexis when she came round for my birthday. She persuaded her mum to get her a fairy costume as well!!

Smiling is good for your whole body

I do find it almost amusing when certain men who regard themselves as handsome and god's gift to women always look like they are sucking a lemon.

Sometimes, when things aren't going right, we don't feel like smiling, but it is always good, if we can, to recall something that does make us smile.

I do hate it when someone says to a woman:

"You'd be prettier if you smiled"

If those men weren't so moronic, others, men and women, would smile at them.

Conclusion

So today (and every day) smile a lot. It will do you good and make the people you meet happier. I do love a returned smile.

I know this is fake, but it will make you smile
