Happy Girls are the Prettiest

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
Audrey Hepburn

I'm in search of inner beauty!  From my head to my toes.  There are 3 things I'm striving for - a beautiful spirit, beautiful health, and a little pep in my step that can provide contagious joy to others.  Today, being the Monday that it is, I gotta fake it till I make it.  So, to give a little pep in my step, I'm wearing pokadot shoes.  It's amazing how fun shoes (in addition to a joyful spirit), puts pep in my step.  I also put on a happy face.  I'm smiling at every person I see.  According to , smiling makes us more attractive.  People want to know what we're so happy about.  In addition, if you smile at someone, they feel that perhaps they have something to do with that happiness.  And people like making others feel happy.  Start smiling at people and you'll notice more people are drawn to you.  Smiling is completely worthwhile - they say that smiling can actually make us happier, improve our health, and make us more successful.  

So today I'm believing I'm beautiful, even though I wasn't feeling it when I got up.  And, like Audrey Hepburn, I'm believing in pink, and I'm believing in miracles!  I wasn't feeling beautiful when I got out of bed this morning, but between my shoes, my smile, and the healthy lunch I just enjoyed -- I'm feeling beautiful now.  Way more gorgeous than that that crabby girl over there who could be America's Next Top Model -- if she'd only smile.
