Powder your face with sunshine...

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart SA541769000
I was eating dinner at a local restaurant the other day and I noticed a woman sitting at a table across the room. The reason I noticed her was because she was wearing a great smile. She wasn't particularly beautiful or well-dressed but she was attractive because of her smile.
 
I remember thinking to myself that she must be happy, and in a way, it made me happy. You see smiling is what's known as an affect display. It communicates emotions such as happiness, pride, and love.
 
Sometimes as adults we get so involved with our work, or with the responsibilities we have undertaken, that we forget to find the joy in the things that we do every day.
 
As singer Dean Martin sang, "Powder your face with sunshine, put on a great big smile...folks will be laughing with you in a little while".
 
I decided right then and there to smile more often. Smiling can be contagious. We may even spread a little bliss to others.
 
How does this apply to real estate? Well, just like any business my job is to help spread joy to the people I meet. If I can help bring just a little pleasure to a client or co-worker, I have done my job.
 
So give me a call or stop by my office, I'll do my best to help put a smile on your face.

Those were great words from that ole Dean Martin song.  We need to practice them more.

Smiling is contagious.  Better to spread joy with a simple smile.

You are absolutely right, Joseph.  When someone gives you a smile, you can't help but return it!  Even the physical act of smiling can lift you up.

It's true...smiling is contagious and it's a mood booster. They say you can't stay angry if you smile.

Very nice post, Joseph. I read an article recently as to how women can look younger without doing anything but this one thing...you got it, SMILE! Men too. Smiles make faces look so much better.

Smiling is truly infectious. In fact, I read about the woman smiling and started smiling myself.

I smile when people get furious over inconsequential things. For some reason they don't smile back.

Couldn't agree more.  It sets the stage for whatever your doing. Walk into a restaurant and smile at a hostess - they smile even bigger.  I also think to myself how much they earn at their jobs and they HAVE to smile.  Why not make it easier on them and share a smile? 

Good for you!

I first notice the expression on people's faces. I find I feel best about those who smile.

A smile releases good feeling in others.

Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes when I see people smiling I wonder what mischief they have gotten into?
