Smiling: Part III

"Why are you smiling?"

"I'm smiling because I'm happy.

It is easy to understand when someone says, "I'm smiling because I'm happy." When we see someone smile it seems obvious that person is happy. Most everyone smiles, at least a little, when they are happy.

Try this. "Why are you happy?"

"I'm happy because I'm smiling."

Smiling when we are happy is just a response or almost a reflex.

Choosing to smile, just plain choosing to smile, actually can help us be happy.

Again, Sage was right. Everyone is watching. When I choose to simply make my face smile and when it isn't just a reflex or a response I take an active role in deciding to be happy.

"Why are you happy?"

"I'm happy because I'm smiling."

It is the weekend. Please be good. Drive your cars carefully. Ride with people who drive carefully. Treat yourself with respect. Spend time with people who treat you with respect. Treat other people with respect. Talk nice to yourself; you deserve it. I look forward to hearing from you or seeing you. Keep yourself whole physically and emotionally. Enjoy your weekend.
