Keep on smiling..!

Hello darlings! Did you know that the first Friday of October every year is 'World Smile Day'!? It's motto is  'Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile'. Can you imagine the ripple effect if we all do this..!?!

Of course this one-day global initiative should not stop anyone from smiling and being kind every day and always, but I think it is wonderful that the world celebrates boundless friendliness and kindness in this manner!





Smiling is such a powerful gesture and has the most amazing effect on the person who smiles and the world around him/her. A genuine smile is contagious, and you will find that the old saying 'Smile and the world will smile with you' is true!





Let's all keep on improving this world.. 
..one true and warm smile at a time..!

    When I was little and feeling self conscious, my mom would say, "just put on a smile and keep going." Duh, something like that anyway. :)

    I think it makes a face more attractive too!

    Hej Hjärtat!
    Tänker på dig och hoppas du har det bra!?
    Här hos dig- massor att läsa, inspireras, skratta och le åt. Ska be att få komma tillbaka senare för att över en kopp kaffe/te insupa allt i lugn och ro.
    Nu ska jag och pappa på ett gigantiskt 7- timmars fönsterputsarjobb- här behövs ett STORT lycka till:)!
    Massor med kramar till dig och önskan om en riktigt bra start på veckan!
    Kram, kram, kram
