Smile

So few muscles are needed.
It takes very little effort.
And provides oh so many benefits.
Smiling always brightens our faces
and lights up every room.
It can disarm and 
charm.
Add mystery and fun.
Fill your day with smiles,
it's good for you.


Joining Leanne's Flower Art Friday....

"It takes 17 muscles to smile, and 47 muscles to frown.  Conserve energy."  ~ Unknown
