Smiling is a basic human function. You use seventeen muscles to smile and yet we smile on average twenty to forty times a day. Most of the time we don't even realize we're smiling. But maybe you don't feel like you're smiling enough or you just aren't happy anymore. Here are thirty reasons to smile:
1.The really cheesy joke your friend just made.
2. The frown you get after you say something that wasn't very appropriate.
3. Your dog running in circles around the living room.
4. The friendly carhop bringing you your order with a smile.
5. A new season of your favorite show.
6. The friendly stranger who waves at you as you pass.

Even on your darkest day there's always something, no matter how small, to smile about.
