Serving The Citizens of Western North Carolina Since 1995 Wednesday's Smile!
Regardless of language, culture, or background, a smile is universally understood as a symbol of warmth, happiness, and goodwill. It has the ability to transcend barriers and ignite a chain reaction of positivity.
Smiles have the ability to brighten our days, improve our mental and physical health, and create meaningful connections.
Remember, a smile costs nothing, choosing to smile, creating a positive ripple effect that can spread far beyond our immediate surroundings!
"Your wrinkles either show that you're nasty, cranky and senile, or that you're always smiling." —Carlos Santana
"If you smile when you are alone, then you really mean it." —Andy Rooney
"I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give 'em yours!" —Dolly Parton
"I've got nothing to do today but smile." —Paul Simon
"Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears." —John Lennon
We hope this has given you a smile!
