This book is dedicated to every person who struggles with smiling, having a good time, enjoying life and who has been miserable. I believe that smiling is the remedy to many of the issues we struggle with on a daily basis.

Introduction

In almost all of my texts, messages, and emails I try and leave this five letter remedy for all who communicate with me: SMILE!

Chapter One

Laughter Precept

~Laughter is good for the soul. Proverbs prescribes that a merry heart is like a medicine. In so many words, the more we laugh the healthier we are. Laughter lends life!

M.E. Lyons

Laugh…Out…Loud…

Philippians 4:4

BRB-be right back

IDK- I don’t know

ROTF-rolling on the floor

TTYL- talk to you later

WYD-what you doing

IKR- I know right

OMG- oh my God

HMU- hit me up

SMH- shaking my head

BFF- best friend forever

Face booking, tweeting, and texting…

Many folks these days are down about so many things in life…

Tis not only adults down…but elderly people…I just read in the room online that Social Security is being threatened to be cut off
