Smiles are hard to find...

AS of late, smiles are hard to find.

Most everywhere we go, all I see are frowns and grumpy people.

Yes it has been cold, but you make out of life what you put into it.

It is Christmas, It is a happy time of the year.

I guess I could say that it is just the non-believers that are that way, but there are way to many.

So, when you meet someone...give a smile..You may be surprised and get one back!

We could make someone's day by simply smilling to them, it might be just what they need.

Smiling brightens your day as well as those you are smiling at. Even people that aren't in 'direct line of fire' get the benefits.

Bill, we certainly can affect those around us by our actions and demeanor...a smile usually gets one in return.

Despite the cold, I love this time of year and I love winter. I think the Christmas season is wonderful. I'm trying to slow things down to enjoy it more, but I'm not having too much luck with that.

I love smiling at people that look  grumpy- they usually return the smile.  Although a study just came out that people in St. Louis smile more than in any other city!

Bill, I think smiles should be all around right now with the time of year.    We are coming out of the deep freeze starting tomorrow, yay!

I haven't noticed all the grumps this year but it's happened in the past. A couple of days ago someone gave my dog the finger for barking at a neighbor that just drove by. I'd say he had a problem - who gives a dog the finger?
