“Smile and the world smiles with youβ
β Stanley Gordon West

Life is a journey. And we choose how to embrace that journey along its many winding paths. We climb over its mountain peaks and traverse deep into its valleys. It isn’t always easy.
Even in times of absolute despair, once the sobs subside and your mind navigates its way through the tangled web of confusion, there will always be something you can find to smile about. Studies show that if you cultivate gratitude, you will be happier, and smiling is just one of the many tools you have to lift your mood. So get a good dose of dopamine by donning your smile today.
It’s more than just an upturn of our lips, a crease upon our cheek and a crinkling around our eyes β it’s a way of being.
Shelley Roes
My smile is synonymous with being happy and contented, but most of all – a belief that everything will work out eventually. My smile is my heart believing in myself, and my choice to choose the way I want to approach the world.
My smile has got me through difficult moments and in times of pain. My cheeks have ached with laughter and joy. The lines etched in my face show my smile has seen me through life’s seasons.
So embrace your smile and what it means to you and spread the joy on this journey we call life.
So smile on dear readers π
