Guest guest Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 WHEN YOU'RE SMILING, WHEN YOU'RE SMILING... Tuesday, 03 January 2012 The whole world smiles...with you! Hey, Happy Second Day of 2012, everybody. And on this beautiful second day of the new year, I could think of no better message than for you to simply SMILE more in this new year. And...for good reason! One of the keys to living a longer, healthier life just might be in showing off those pearly white teeth of yours more often and...smiling! People with sunny dispositions, happier attitudes and who smile more, have a significantly reduced risk of suffering from a stroke. A recent study of more than 6,000 adults found that those people with sunny dispositions, happier attitudes and who smiled more, had a significantly reduced risk of suffering from a stroke. Now tell me, is that not some of the most wonderful news you've heard in a while? Put another way, something as simple as being happy and smiling more often could actually help you live longer. I love it! Here's something else to think about. Stroke is a leading cause of death in the United States and heart disease is our nation's #1 killer. But there's growing evidence that staying positive can help fend off the risk of heart problems, too. Oh my goodness, the news about smiling and staying happy just keeps getting better, doesn't it? Look, don't be afraid to be happy and let yourself laugh. The old saying, laughter is the best medicine is so true. I'm glad to say that laughter is one of my own life's simple pleasures. And...I like making others laugh, too! In 2012, I want you to hang out with happier people. In 2012, I want you to hang out with happier people. And know what? Their happiness will rub off on you. Even better, not only will their happiness make you feel better but you'll discover that happy people are the ones you can depend on most when you really need a friend. And one more thing. A few days ago, you'll recall I talked to you about those people who choose to live their lives on the depressing Dark Side of life. Please don't be one of them. Whenever a dark or negative thought enters your mind, do your best to turn it into a positive. Remember, there's a silver lining behind every dark cloud. Oh, I wish we could all be together on this January 2nd for a big group shot. Hey! I've got an idea...let's pretend we are. Get ready now, the photographer's about to take our photo. Okay everybody...SMILE! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
