October 2nd - World Smile Day!

Today is World Smile Day:)

Theme : Do an act of Kindness. Help one person smile

#Smile#WorldSmileDay

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight- Phyllis Diller

The original ‘smiley was created by commercial artist Harvey Ball in 1963. Concerned about the commercialization of the quickly iconic graphic, Harvey established Smile Day, which encourages you to participate in acts of kindness and friendliness, and to smile and make others smile.

How often do you smile in a day? Do you smile when you meet new people? When you see your friends? Around your co-workers? How about your significant other? Your face has 44 muscles in it that allow you make more than 5,000 different types of expressions, many of which are smiles. Why do we smile ?

- Smiling can make you happy (even when you're not).

- Smiling can make others happy.

- Smiling makes you more attractive.

- Smiling can help you de-stress.

- Smiling can help you land a job by making you likeable, confident, conscientious and stable.

- Smiling can lead to laughter.

- Smiling just feels good.
