Smile when you're sad,

  • I just read a bunch of articles about smiling. Apparently when you smile, even if it's forced, it triggers your brain to release seratonin, dopamine and endorphins. I notice when I smile for no reason I do feel a lift in my mood.

    I just thought I would share.

    Happy Thanksgiving - I hope we all have reason to smile while celebrating.

  • I am about to smile myself off to beddy-bye. Have a great day tomorrow whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving here in the US or just having a great day smiling somewhere else. I just love this smiley with all the teeth.
  • Lol I love them too Gail. :
