Chronic Smilers...

Many assumptions come to people who are always smiling.  And YES, I am one of those people.

Here are some assumptions about chronic smilers...

Always happy.
Nothing is wrong.
Never go through hard times.
Delusional.
Never lonely or sad.
Naive.
Weird.
Oblivious.
Too happy.
Fake.
Don't need (fill in the blank)...

Well my friends, I have come to tell you that this smile can mean all of those things SOMETIMES... BUT NOT ALL OF THE TIME.  I mean, come on, I am human...:)  Actually, a lot of the time it's the exact opposite.  But I don't claim sadness nor tough times.  I claim a happy life and in my opinion, one of the first steps to being happy is to smile and laugh (sometimes for no reason or at yourself).  I laugh at myself ALL of the time...ALL of the time (ask my students).  People even tell me my texts are "smiley."  I love it...

I choose happy.

What do you choose?  Try to smile more, it'll do your body good...and your mind.  Have you heard that saying, "Dress like who you aspire to be..."?  It's the same idea, if you want happy, "dress" like who you want to be...:)

Be a chronic smiler. :)
