Health As I See It: Smile

Health Is Vital

Health is taken for granted, until you can't any more. In this blog I hope to put down on paper some of the articles I come across and want to remember, about health. I will be personalizing these articles to apply to me. I am diabetic, over weight, have high blood pressure and tinnitus, so these are the things you will find here. I will include nutrition, exercise, and holistic health, and many other ideas. I work in the health profession, particularly mental health, and have an interest in suicide prevention; so these topics will also be covered in this blog. Please, if you are suffering reach out. Our county health and crisis line is 1-855-278-4204.

Smile for your Health

This poem was in an old Legacy: International Society: Daughters of Utah Pioneers. I find it very cute, and motivational. Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all passed on a smile or a bit of humor rather than a grumpy old face.

Smile for You

Smiling is infectious; you catch it like the flu,

When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin

When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile, then I realized its worth,

A single smile just like mine could travel round the earth.

So if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected

Let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!

Smiling won't cure everything, but I think it may make a difference. Sometimes you have to go with the flow, and just smile.
