Counting

"Count the amount of times you smile in a day."

This was said at a training session I was at as a possible solution for stress.

I smiled at my Osteology textbook. (Bit of a nerd).

I smiled at meeting my roommate's relatives and their fun accents. (They're English and Australian).

I smiled at my sleepy mind seeing myself knock a cup off the counter but not being awake enough to react. (Bit of a klutz).

I smiled at realizing a person I previously had been annoyed by is actually really nice and easy to talk to.

I smiled at the prospect of the future.

I smiled at a little boy sitting in front of us giving me the foam football he had caught at the Dinos' Kickoff football game.

I smiled at life.

Why did you smile today?

                                              Remember, smiles are contagious.
