What happens when you smile?

Remember the old television show, Candid Camera? Do you recall how each little vignette ended? They said, "Smile, you're on Candid Camera!" In the end, the individuals, even if they were embarrassed, couldn't help but smile when they were captured on film.

So, what happens when you smile? It releases a number of emotions indeed. Typically, you experience happiness and joy. It just depends on the reason why. Maybe you just heard the news about the birth of a child, the favorable results of a test, or any number of things. Whatever it is, when you display that contagious smile, it conjures a feeling of comfort and happiness from within and conveys a similar message to the recipient. What, if anything, can be bad about that?

In these difficult times, it is not uncommon to feel somewhat down and dejected. We all have expectations and aspirations that sometimes can't be achieved. However, if we maintain our sense of well-being and perspective on things, we hopefully will overcome. Success in this case may not be measured by dollars and cents, but by the priceless smile on our faces. Spread the wealth and share a smile today!
