Get your smile on. What are you so worried about? Is this day so much different than all the others you’ve survived?

You’re a beautifully designed creature with a very special set of gifts. You can taste and smell and hear and see and feel things. And you have about one hundred billion brain cells to store all those flavors and scents and sounds and sights and feelings in. Then your brain can take what it remembers and make pictures in your head. Pictures only you can see.

How awesome is that? Pretty awesome, I’d say.

Here’s another reason to get your smile on. It’s a new day. Today is another day you woke up. That means you have another day to do something for someone. What will you do? Put on a frown and wonder why nobody wants to do nice things for you? Or put on your smile and find somebody who could use your help?

I can tell you this…anytime you help someone it feels so much better than just trying to get what you want all the time. And that feeling lasts a lot longer, too. So, just remember this…

Troubles in this life might never be gone,
But go ahead and get your smile on.
You might start the day with a big, fat yawn,
But go ahead and get your smile on.

Parents might say go out and mow the lawn,
But go ahead and get your smile on.
People might laugh at the pictures you’ve drawn,
But go ahead and get your smile on.

You might be a duck and never the swan,
But go ahead and get your smile on.
You can still fly high in a brand new dawn,
So go ahead and get your smile on.

Stay tuned,
