is good.

(I always smile looking at "Your Sunday LOLCats&quot

Did you know that every time you smile, the brain sends signals for Endorphins to be produced by the central nervous system & the pituitary gland that are a natural "sedative"
(as opposed to adrenalin, which makes you "wide awake" like coffee)

Anyhow, smiling is good for you.

Laughter is even better for you..
.Google "Anatomy of an Illness" by Norman Cousins
He had a very painful, un-treatable illness, and he found that one "belly-laugh" equaled about 10 minutes of pain relief.....It's a great book, and fun to read as well.
(I think Norman Cousins was the editor of Look Magazine, but I could be wrong about that)
