I Like You Best When You Smile
We all know that simple gestures like smiling can have a big impact on others and brighten their day. I was reminded how different we look to others when we smile this week when I was having some professional photos done. When we were looking at the shots picking the ones the publisher wanted to use, the photographer said, “I like you best when you smile.” That really struck me and as I looked at the pictures, I like myself best when I smiled. Then as I continued to think about it I came to the conclusion that I like everyone best when they smile. That smile often signals that we appreciate and acknowledge the positivity that others bring into our lives. We should remember to compliment or acknowledge others’ smiles and the positive effect it has on us. Keep smiling!
Sharing Smiles Even If They Are A Little Harder To See
“Sharing smiles even if they are a little harder to see.” I heard this yesterday on the video that was shown prior to taking off on my flight to Atlanta. If you watch closely you can tell when someone is smiling. I was reminded this morning how important it is to still smile, even when our mask makes them a little harder to see. I walked into a school in Georgia this morning that I have not been in since last summer and a teacher I know said, “I would know that smile anywhere.” I said, “How do you know I was smiling?” She said, “You can always tell; you just have to pay attention.”
I started paying attention and you can tell. In fact the person’s whole face changes and their eyes light up. So, don’t forget: keep sharing smiles even if they are a little harder to see.
