"Do you smile?"
On my usual walk to Starbucks today, I was descending some steps on the way to the street, when a lady walking up from the opposite direction called out to me. I, busy in my own thoughts, couldn't make out what she said, except that it was a question of some sort. Probably asking for directions, I figured.
"Sorry?" I responded.
"Do you smile?" she repeated.
It took me half a second to get the import of those words, but when I did, I automatically broke into a full smile, realizing what a dark and horrible frown I'd had on my face previously.
"That's it!" she smiled back, and we continued walking our separate ways.
'Tis the season to be jolly.

It certainly will make a difference in and around u .
Awwww. :-)
I know I've said the same to you ad nauseum, but yeah, I think that stranger's absolutely right. You should smile more often. Plus that signature smile really is your most charming feature!
Is that really your Ammi?
Mash'allah!.. :)
I agree with the other stranger about your smile.
Good to see you at the conference. Take care and wish you best of luck in all of your endeavors!
wassalam
