Smile

n.   1. A facial expression characterized by an upward curving of the corners of the mouth and indicating pleasure, amusement, or derision.

2. A pleasant or favorable disposition or aspect.

Adoration, satisfaction, pride, joviality, hope, relief, sympathy, surprise, or ridicule. It doesn't matter what a smile's motive is- a smile is always a beautiful thing. It doesn't matter if the smile is made up of three gold teeth, all pearly whites, two baby teeth, gums that are enshrouded by wrinkled, ninety year old lips, or braces with colored bands, smiles are always beautiful. Someone once said, "a smile is the light in the window of your face that lets people know you're at home" and I always thought that that was a wonderful thing to say. 

So, go on and let those corners of your mouth reach for the stars.
