"Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile, dwelling in the present moment." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Whether or not you already practice some form of meditation, consider making smiling a daily practice.
"We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do," said Mother Teresa.
Smiling is "the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart," wrote Anthony J. D'Angelo.
Like mindful breathing and dwelling in the present moment, smiling is good for us. It's good for others. It's good for us all.
Although National Smile Day is not until May 31, let's celebrate smiling today.
With every breath,
