Smiles are always better than frowns--IMO, anyway. I just checked to see if it's true that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile. It seems there are no definitive studies that have been done on the subject, but most people seem to think that fewer muscles are needed to smile. If that's correct, it means fewer wrinkles in the future! :>) See, I'm smiling, already!

Happy quotes, Anneliese. Thank you.

Great quotes, anneliese. I kept them in mind when I felt stressed, and I realized that other people might also be stressed, so I ventured out with a smile.
Thanks.
