I am blogging you from Thailand and I am taking this opportunity to share with you what impresses me the most about Thai people: their smile.

I was lying awake last night and started to formulate a scholastic blog with research data, inspirational quotes and all to share with you about the power of a smile. However, it quickly occurred to me that I was totally transforming a genuine, generous, accepting and openhearted gift into a sterile analysis of muscle motion and self-image generated behavior. Quite a defeating exercise where I only want to remind us all about the lovely changes a smile, two smiles, lots of smiles can induce in our daily life.

Smile to the stars, smile to the birds, smile to the trees

Smile to yourself, smile with yourself, smile at yourself

Smile to a child, smile to your neighbor, smile!
