This reminds me of that old song, don't know the name, but some of the words were "just let a smile be your umbrella"

When I was a very young mother, married to a very young man who told me how "short, fat and dumpy" I was, everyday (at 110lbs dripping wet), I was kneeling by a box stocking shelves at work one day. Two old ladies came by and I looked up and they caught my eye. One of them laid her hand on the other's and said, "Oh, my dear, just look at that beautiful child's smile. Isn't she just beautiful?" It took me a minute to realise she was talking about me. I like to think I started not believing my husband that day and had the courage to get away from him a few years later.

Smiles are contagious and completely free. They make great givaways and can have lasting effects!
