A day of random thoughts and emotions tend to create not so eloquent pieces.
Today I decided to write without editing or utilizing my journal in which I often go back
and tweak what I desire to say. Today has been a day to just write.
So often we utter the words 'it doesn't hurt to smile as it may brighten some one else's day'. Phrases some may hear. " It's always nice to see a smiling face when you enter the building", " I haven't seen you here in such a long time, I've missed that smile", "Your smile is worth a thousand words" , " I wish everyone I came in contact with would exhibit such a beautiful smile."
Does anyone ever question what is behind the Million Dollar Smile? Do you truly think of the thousand words that one endured to create that smile? Is that smile just a cover? The classic frown turned upside down also known as the crooked smile. A smile derived from childhood neglect.
A lost love, broken heart or rejection.
Empty silence from broken promises.
Try to think of how that smile came to be. Look into the eyes of the million dollar smile. Do you see tears of joy or magic that has disappeared? Some may be blind to the hidden turmoil others are and will be receptive offering a smile in return that gives hope and encouragement. They too could reap the benefits of a smile from you.
