Smile like you mean it

So today there was a section in the morning paper about how improve your happiness quotient. (Eat more quotients! I mean croissants!) And one thing it said to do was to just smile for no reason... which was strange timing because I've been doing this from time to time lately (in addition to sitting up straight, eating breakfast regularly and drinking more water), and it f'ing works!

After a few awkward minutes, the world really just brightens up. We all have a lot to be thankful for. Like last evening when I was doing this, I suddenly started realizing how many beautiful birds were walking past me (birds are girls, Mom). And then I heard music playing -- something I hadn't noticed earlier when I was just walking around trying to look important. And then I went and ate sushi, and it was the BEST SUSHI EVER. But that part doesn't really count because it really was just the best sushi ever.

So try to smile more people, and not just when you're reading this blog. We are all blessed. Some with talents, some with wisdom, some with the ability to wind people up and others with the ability to calm people down. And some with trips to Madrid tomorrow so I won't be writing again until Tuesday.

Adios muchachos!
