If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Artist- Nat King Cole
Song of the day- Smile

After my friend Suzanne posted a link on my facebook about the powers of smiling, it got me thinking about this song. A song I've already carved out as my funeral song during a moving photo montage mixing positivity and sadness, awe not a dry eye in the house! But I digress and am overly morbid. It is quite amazing what smiling has done for my life both my own and from others. If you have time to watch the link below you will find it hard not to agree. Smiling can turn a day around, can make people think you are much more charming than you are, can make you happier, can hide what is really going on inside you, can ease a tense situation, can make people think you are quite strange, but often will make people smile back regardless. And what I hope at the very least in my life is to have made people who weren't smiling, smile. Because when I think of all the people in the world who make me smile, I do get happier, and can't help but smile more, which according to this smart man makes me more attractive, smarter, and I will live longer...so I guess my moving montage will have to wait. But I'm pretty sure you need a smile today, so this one's for you.





Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
