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,
