Smile for your health!

Before I go to bed on an ordinary lazy Friday night,
I thought I'd rhyme y'all a Saturday morning delight.
I'm smiling now and already feel a bit stronger!
Children smile up to 400 times per day!
We should imitate their happy smiley way.

    Smiling is always a great thing, even when I feel a bit cranky (kids running wild ;) ), if I smile, it tends to change my perspective, making things a bit brighter.

    @Matty - Well, the apple should make you smile, so go for both! :)

    @bjbohls - Oooh 10 smiles! That's good. I sense the potential for a new rating system. :)

    @Roy - Hope you keep smiling too the whole day through!

    @SJ - Is there really a too cute on the cute meter?

    @Madeline - Glad you like the plan! I know you too spread as many smiles as you can. :)

    @BornStoryteller - ok, so maybe not 400 smiles EVERY day, but... :)

    @Jessica M - Smiling when you can is a talent to be cherished. :)

    @Savira - I too find children's smiles inspiring. Also, the quantity they output is worth admiring. :)

    @vb - It may not be simple all the time, but I'm glad it works for you too. :)

    @Poets United - Happy 50th! It is quite an accomplishment. :)
