Smiling! Not only does a smile make you more appealing and approachable, studies have shown it can lower your blood pressure and improve your immune system. And the irony is that even if we don’t feel happy, and a smile is the last thing we feel like doing, the quickest way to reverse those unhappy feelings is to smile. Just like the song says: “Smile, though your heart is breaking…….”
Still not in the mood to smile? Here is a joke that just might give you a kick start and get you grinning. And after that happens, go to the end of the blog and check out the test to see if you can tell a genuine smile from a fake smile.
While attending a “Marriage Encounter Weekend” Walter and his wife, Ann, listened to the instructor declare,
“It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important
to each other.”He then addressed the men in the audience and challenged them with the following question, “Can you name and describe your wife’s favorite flower?”
Walter leaned over, touched Ann’s arm gently, “Pillsbury, All-Purpose, isn’t it?”
Thus so began Walter’s life of celibacy.
Are you smiling yet? Good. Now check out the test to see if you can spot the fake smile: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/smiles/

I agree with your comments on smiling. Working at home, I notice that I feel better about the day when I smile alot.
Interesting test on the fake versus genuine smile.

That is SO funny.
How about if you're passionately kissing your husband and you ask "is this OK?" (big mistake in itself).....and he responds...."Well, if you have to." ?
