Some days you need a smile, but no one is around to help put one on your face. Those are the days when we experience simple little things that make us believe in something bigger and better than ourselves. If you need a smile today, you may not have to look further than your vegetable drawer.

When Kate Morgan sliced into her green pepper, she got an unexpected smile. The core of the vegetable revealed a smiling inner peace. Sometimes you just need a little sign to switch from a humdrum day to an awesome day.
Things that make people happy and brighten their days sometimes seem too far away to reach. When that happens to you, look for the little things, like farmer Tip King. He was driving along and saw a field of sunflowers, so he shared it on TikTok to brighten other people’s days.
Speaking of sunflowers, farmer Lee Wilson planted 1.2 million sunflowers to tell his wife of 50 years how much she brightens his life. Sunflowers are the favorite flower of his wife, Renee. That field of bright yellow plants became a popular Kansas destination for people needing a pickup.
Some days, it is not easy to muster a smile. Surprisingly, adding a grin to your face can make you feel happier. The use of facial muscles triggers feel-good hormones, which lift our spirits. When you are in public, more people will engage with you if you have a happy expression. The more inviting you look, the more comfortable others will feel around you.
Smiles are highly contagious. Give them freely and create an epidemic in your area. Try it the next time you are in public.
Please share.
