Who Could Resist That Smile

I am one of those people whose thoughts and feelings are "written all over my face." My face gives me away when I am mad, sad, glad, bad, disgusted, etc.

The other day I guess I was a little too happy to see someone. They took one look at me and said, "You are entirely too smiley for my liking."

What?! I don't say anything and this person looks at me again...

"Don't look at me that way."

I am sure my expression was one of hurt, embarrassment, and confusion.

One of the best compliments I was ever given was

"Your smile is contagious."

I also have that often annoying ability to find the positive among a pile of negative. I think that comes from knowing God and that everything happens for a reason. I may freak out about changes at first...but once I am given time to think I can just pick up and roll with it.

One downside of being a smiley face is that I also have the problem of laughing at the wrong times. Like when people get hurt. One time I saw a friend grab the back of a 4wheeler and tell the driver to go and she would hang on. The driver thought she would be smart enough to let go. He punched the gas...she did not let go. Have you ever seen someone bounce off the pavement? It is hilarious...especially when it is caused by moronic behavior. She was fine...except for some scrapes and bruises. However, she was a little ticked at me. I was bent over her trying to ask if she was ok, but couldn't quit laughing long enough to get it out.

What is the last thing that made you smile?
