Have you noticed that if you smile to someone, they will respond back with a smile? It is such a nice way to start a day. And a compliment is a nice thing to do to someone also, as you will bless their day. Sending you a big "Smile" and a "Hug." Have a nice day my friends.

A former coworker would often answer the phone with the grumpiest of voices. I told her that she needed to answer it with a smile. When you smile when answering the phone, it comes across in your voice. People pick up on this and feel welcomed. When greeting another person, even if you are feeling down, smile, even if it is a little one. People will admire that you are able to smile even if life is getting you down. Smiling at you my friend. Huggers as well.

Thanks for the smile and hug! My cousin and I sat in a crowded mall many years ago and decided to smile and say hello to as many people as we could one day, just to see their reaction. It was amazing how many people looked at us strangely and obviously thought we were mad! Goes to show you that people don't expect others to be nice to them or say hello. Isn't it a sad world??

I love smiling at people went I'm walking on the street...they are contagious and usually most people can't help smiling back at me....I'm a hugger too..uh, no I don't go up to perfect strangers and hug them otherwise they might think I'm a tad weird..LOL...but do hug my friends...I fell in love with Leo Buscalia--the hug guy and ever since make sure I hug my friends. No a smile definitely doesn't hurt and it's one of the few rare things that are free...isn't that great? ;-)

Here is a smile right back at you my dear friend. :-) I hope that you are able to smile everyday. I try to smile as often as I can though sometimes it is hard. I do find that smiling at someone usually brings back a smile as well. It is nice getting a smile back or smiling back at someone. I think most people enjoying seeing someone who is happy and smiling and is cheerful. Have a great day and wonderful weekend.
