Nice website Scarlet, thanks!

This thing on smiling ?....People who have suffered strokes, don't always get the use of the facial muscles back again(my uncle had this)..
and a few years back, after our return from living in Portugal, I was out one night and the left side of my face felt 'funny'..and I couldn't move my mouth properly...overnight it worsened and I couldn't close my eye,which was watering very badly..
went to doctors and he told me I had Bell's facial palsy. By then side of my face was frozen. I couldn't eat or drink or speak properly let alone smile!
It did wear off after a month, but at the time I looked as though Id suffered a stroke.
My daughter's young schoolfriedn had the same thing and it lasted almost a year. Some people never get the use of the facial muscles back..I was lucky! Mind you, my eye took a long time to get better.
But a smile goes a long way I think? I know it makes me feel good!...and I always make a point of smiling at folk in wheelchairs, as I often think they get overlooked in our busy way of life
