You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile

I’ve tried my best my entire life to always look on the bright side of things. One of my favorite motto's: Live Love Laugh. The saying has always spoken volumes to me and I keep it around wherever I can see it to remind me of how important those three little words are. I have this saying on my wall in my home office, in my office at work, I wear it around my neck. . .

Believe me; I know that it isn’t always easy to put on a happy face whenever life seems to be getting in the way. I have had my share of rough times. Try having a surgery when you are 15 and hearing you’re not going to make it through the night on for size. Even through the hard times, I always try to muster up a smile to get me through. . .and you know what? It works!

There is actually something more to this smiling thing, called smile therapy. It has been proven that by simply smiling you can relieve stress, boost your immune system and you can even make others happy simply by beaming your beautiful smile their way.

So my question to you is what makes you smile? What in your life right now brings you the most happiness? Let’s face it; we all need a little joy in our hearts! Here are a few things that are currently making me particularly happy.

- It doesn’t matter how many times my hubby and I have watched It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, The Big Bang Theory, Family Guy, or Archer, we laugh so hard we can hardly breathe.

- Hearing my hubby do his “Little Jamie Voice”. Hy-ster-ical!!!

- Having one of the new hospital therapy dogs, Chester, visit my office each week so I can love on him for a while. 

- Planning a trip to Disney World to celebrate my BFF's birthday.

- The thought of my five year wedding anniversary coming up in Oct to the most amazing man in the entire world!
