People smile around here. I like that.
I'm a smiler by nature; I notice when others are, too. When I meet someone who isn't smiling, there's something deep within me that makes me determined to "see that frown turn upside down", to borrow an over-used cliche.
I think there are some out there who have yet to discover the absolute value of a smile. It puts people at ease. It makes people feel that someone cares.
It for sure can relax the trip up and down an elevator when people greet one another with a smile.
The nurses, therapists, techs, and housekeepers around here are excellent--they're also natural-born smilers. And trust me, sometimes a reassuring or understanding smile is just what the doctor ordered, to borrow yet another over-used cliche.
Our doctors here are also smilers, albeit to different degrees. We've gone from modest grin to full-out, showing those pearly whites infectious smiles. Once again...when a doc smiles, the reassurance and blessed relief are appreciated beyond belief.
So, next chance you get, smile at someone. Even if it's just a glancing, quick uplifting of the corners of the mouth, it may be just what that other person needs to get through the day a little more smoothly.
