The Power Of A Smile

It's a simple gesture, and costs zero cents. A slight curve of the lips is all it takes, and others smile.   The doctor's office fills-up.  It's quiet. Still, a few come and go.  Someone whispers to him/herself.   "I'm ready to get out of here."  One lady mumbled out-loud.   People look around.  Tension builds.   Simply, smile.   Someone will smile back, and a conversation starts.   Stress is dragged to the curb, and a friendly group conversation is started.   Image the unnecessary stress that would have been unloaded in the room without a smile.   A few are gathered to board public transportation.  Stiff faces stress about getting to work, or to another destination.  Frowned brows display the tension.   A smile will lighten the tension, and chatting starts.  Others chime in, and the means of transportation arrives.   The day starts on a bright note.   A smile curtailed stress, and it works anywhere.   In a business meeting, at home, or at a street corner, simply, smile.
