Free Smiles
I wonder who invented smiling. Someone, somewhere, sometime must have said, "Hey, look at this. Look what I can do!" Some people have toothy smiles. Others hide them away. Still for others the lips seem to be a large part of the action. Beards and mustaches attempt to mask the grin, but the smile is too strong an antidote. I've seen them crooked, stiff even some that were mostly gums.
To be perfectly honest. Never seen one I didn't enjoy the look of. All a bit different. All good.
I don't have to tell you. We live in a world of pay, pay, pay! However, some of the best stuff in this big, wide world is free for the taking. We take lots of these freebies for granted.
Smiles are free.
Giving them and getting them.
Bank your smiles!
I guess you would have to smile at the condition of this boat because it looks like it's going to take a lot of work to make it float again.
ReplyDeleteWhatever floats your boat.
Deletesmiling is priceless
ReplyDeletemy smile is my greatest inheritance - it was my mother's. :D
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's important to smile!
ReplyDeleteLots of good advice this morning. I'm smiling!
ReplyDeleteSomeone has a sense of humour there Birdman.. I'm smiling and it feels good :)
ReplyDeleteSmiling, it's something so natural, feels sooo good, comes from somewhere like the soul or something, Not good when it's forced!
ReplyDeleteThey say that smiling makes you feel happier even when you are down! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out the reason for this "sign" on this boat. I'm also trying to figure out the reason the boat isn't in the water where it belongs. All that figuring leaves creases in my brow and a grump look on my face. Actually, though I'm smiling. So what does it mean when you know you're smiling but no one else does?
ReplyDeleteEvery times someone takes my picture they tell me to smile. I AM SMILING, DAMMIT!
Heh, heh.
Great post. When I hear the phrase " a smile can light-up a face" it is true for sure!

I beg to differ, some smiles want money...
ReplyDeleteThis one probably doesn't though and I wouldn't mind getting that one ship shape again!
No, Birdman! Don't BANK your smiles...give 'em away!
ReplyDeleteI know a very good photographer who will not allow his subjects, including his own grandchildren, to smile. There's nothing like a smile to make my day. I loved this post!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite is the involuntary smile. Usually happens when something funny is said, mid-argument. And try as they might, they can't help themselves.
ReplyDeleteS m i l i n g . . . :))))
ReplyDeleteNow try to convince Grumpy Cat of that philosophy.
ReplyDeleteKodak. LOL !
