Smiling can also be contagious.
When you smile at others, it can trigger a similar response in them…A ripple effect of positivity.

Such lovely pictures and a lovely message. At the beginning of the pandemic I remember I gave strangers smiles that I thought were reassuring, they looked at me like I was bonkers..! Some people are not ready for my smiliness 😊😊😊
