70 Reasons To Smile
77
We could always find a reason to smile. Even when you think there is nothing that could make you expose your pearly whites, I bet you can. The best smiles are the unexpected ones. The ones that you least expect, the ones that make you stop and think..."Wow, the power of a smile is wonderful."

Keith Urban makes me smile:)
Watching fathers pick up their children from school. And the bright lights of NYC at night.
Good use of a Hub :D
Super smiles for fantastic fathers and NYC lights! Thanks Carla!
Awww .. That's so cute and beautiful. Very positive and thought-provoking hub. Although, I would love if I gain some weight instead of constantly losing it! :P

I know technically you mentioned pets . . . but there's something specifically smile-inducing about a happy, warm puppy. :-) Thanks for the SMILE this morning!
***Having SUNSHINE as a friend and MENTOR
She's one Giant S M I L E, all by herself!!
Having you as a friend and reading your fb posts that are sometimes silly, but always interesting make me smile:) ge
I thank YOU for all the SMILES! I have the most amazing friends and family! YOU make LIFE more FUN!!
Law and Order TV marathons make me smile! I still have more smiles to share ... keep 'em coming!
Hi Sunshine! Smiling is so much more easier than frowning!! Great hub!!
Now I know why they call ya Sunshine:). I smiled when I read the title and the aroma of coffee in the morning is THE BEST:) lol
Love, love your hub, Sunshine! Great reminder of how much we have to smile about each day. I would add the privilege of a hot soak in the bath in the morning (prefer that to a shower), having my god children wrap their arms tightly around my neck for a super hug and fresh, clean sheets on my bed. In the end it all comes down to gratitude.
Hi Sunshine, you always make me smile :-) and yes with regards to point #55 - great minds do think alike! I'm voting this up and awesome.
Question though: how do you get free panty coupons from Victoria Secret? That would certainly make me smile.
Hi Dex, Real and Susan! Smiles to you! :) Cloverleaf ... get on their mailing list :)
Reason To Smile:
A Beaming Comment On Hubpages...
So Here's A Compliment,
For You Smiling Sentiment...
Keep On Smiling Linda!;)
Reading your hubs always makes me smile, Sunshine!
Hi sunshine, congratulations on 70 hubs!
I love your 70 smiles, it's difficult to choose a favourite, but I think 70 just about wins, being called a princess by your grandaughter has got to be 'the best thing'
Wonderful and voting up.
#27 GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Then: a baby giggling!
And: when you no longer hear "I'm bored" because kids are back in school after summer vacation....
Then: gaining MORE weight
Also: a good solid, heartfelt HUG
A N D: more YOU and less chocolate ~ ANY chocolate!!!
Voted clear across the board.....because THIS made me smile!
I do thank you!! You're special....
What a wonderful hub! Sometimes we forget all the reasons we have to smile. Thanks for all the smiles & laughter you bring, Sunshine!
:-) :-) :-) lots of smiles!! I love smiling at my students first thing in the morning, when they look so sleepy, and then see a big smile crawl across their face! :)
Awesome! Smiles are always good :)
Tim McGraw makes me smile, especially when I tell my husband that he's my boyfriend! Also Nicholas Cage and George Clooney. They are ALL my boyfriends. My hubby's girlfriend is Mariska Hargitay on Law and Order. ): (:
Congratulations on 70 hubs and a smile for each one of them. This hub made me smile, yes we have a lot to be thankful for.
Keep on smiling
This was just too cute! I was smiling before I got to the first line!
Thank you for spreading your infectious sunshine! :)
Tim McGraw makes me smile also Susie! I like your taste and your hubby's!!
Thank you Rosemay!
Hello missolive ... Keep on smilin' :))

Love the first 70 but I just had to add some of my own too. Congrats on 70 hubs.
I love your 70 reasons to smile and all the photos too - especially the baby elephant! Happy baby animals always make me smile, as well as cute pet antics!
This was a perfect hub. There could have been nothing better as a tribute for your 70th hub. Although I liked the whole hub, but still while reading, I kept on listing the points that make me smile. and they are -1,7,8,10,11,13,19,21,23,30,33,35,36,37,41,42,43,44,45,46,52,58,59,60,62,63 and 66. Although I was not able to understand what points 41 and 55 mean, but still I think they can make me smile..voted up and beautiful! :)
your hub has also the quality to make me smile. Really each reason is very interesting. One must read between the lines to understand the meaning of your hub. Good Work. Keep Writing. I voted it up and interesting.
There's always a reason to smile :).. Up and beautiful! :)
What a beautiful list from a person with a beautiful personality! Thank you, Sunshine. You are a woman after my own heart. Smiles, laughter and humor make the world worth while.
Where would we be without humor in our lives? Answer: in the Oval Office no doubt.
Congratulations on hub #70. My number one reason for smiling is hearing my cat purr. Very calming.
Love this!! Looking forward to reading more and getting more into Hub pages. I'm still a rookie :)
Hi Sunshine...cutest baby elephant picture ever! Congrats on a Great Hub and your 70th Hub (that only happens once you know...then it's hub 71)!
As I was reading your great list, it occurred to me that a pessimist would need to write this to commemorate their 4th hub...you know...having to come up with less reasons to smile...yeah...just an idle thought as I was reading...
Thanks for the read!
Hi Thought! I said it before and I'll say it again I really like the way you think!! :)
Love... Love... Loved this! Definately gave me a great big whooping smile!!!
Beautiful!! :) That little kitten is soooo precious, can I take him home? I just got the "look" from our other two kitties, guess I better not! :) Voted UP and BEAUTIFUL!!
This hub was voted up, of course. :)
70 hubs in 7 months would make me smile! Thanks for the morning smile:)
I absolutely LOVED this blog!! I really needed a good cheering up today, too! And I LOVE the picture of the baby elephant - so cute! =)) I love seeing that zero balance on my credit card bill after paying it off every month!! I loved #68! That made me laugh! Gotta love free underwear from VS! Great blog - voting it up! =)) Have an AMAZING day! =))
Yay for smiles! I'm happy everyone is finding a reason to smile! Thank you for stopping by :-))
Sunshine-what are your favourite Keith Urban songs? I'm planning my Urban poem -I have The doors first-and I am wondering what video to use. Could you give me two or three in case your first choice doesn't have a video on youtube I'm allowed to use?
Hi Flora! Every Keith Urban song and video is my favorite. There are none that I don't like. I have a Keith Urban top hits hub that you could work off of, it might help! I'm excited to read it, keep me posted...I don't want your poem to get by me!
Smile is the only thing which when divided among others gets multiplied in itself. Give others a reason to smile and they will love you for that.
That is the cutest cat I have ever seen. Great hub. It put a smile on my face. Then the baby? Funny. A feel good hub, whats not to like. Voted up. Good times!
...it is especially important to smile when you face very difficult issues...but finding the good, the H A P P Y in each day...that is a gift...keep on writing...i am a newbie on here...but ...will read and listen and grow...ty
:D :~D :) :O)
This made me smile!!! See if my poem can make you smile to!!!!
I thought I'd use the songs off of his greatest hits album.
I was just commenting on Dean Martin! :)) Any of Keith Urban's songs that you use are perfect! :)
My #1 reason to smile is Sunshine !!! Also try seeing a butterfly, always gets a smile. Loved the Hub
Congratulations on your interview in Hubpages Weekly.
Flora - Does the HubPages weekly come to your email or is it online? I have never seen it and am starting to think I might be missing some communications. I checked my email settings in my profile but don't see anything about this newsletter. I appreciate any help you can give.
ktrapp-it is supposed to come to your email, along with an update on your hub views and profile views during the past week. Yours might be getting sent to your junk file? You can read them online without the personalized update online. you can find it by first going to the right of your page and clicking on the latest blog post. At the top of the page you will find a list of options-one of which is the newsletter.
Strange - I don't get the email and it's not in my junk, but I get my daily notifications. Thanks for all the info. I will have to look into this. Sorry Sunshine. I just realized this is all on your hub. I will have to read your interview.
Thank you Flora! I'm glad you enjoyed my interview:)
ktrapp...the newsletter goes to your email account that you have registered with hubpages, you might have to request it's delivery.
loved the various reasons to smile...in this hustle bustle we tend to overlook the above.
thank you for making me look over those reasons so that when I re-live those moments...I do it with a smile :)
You gave plenty of good reasons to smile. I love the song with that title by Charlie Chaplin. Thank you for the pleasure of smiling my way through your list. It is very good. :)
Hi Ruchira & James ... Keep on smilin'! I think I might need a Part 2 to this hub since it was enjoyed by SO many! :)
This is a feel good hub, Sunshine625. I love all 70 of your reasons to smile. : D The easist way to make me smile, is to recall that special memory of 'someone's special smile'. Thanks for such a wonderful share!! Fun!
Sweet comment september girl! Making someone else smile is extra special :))
....well you missed one my new SUNSHINE of a friend -
#71. Arriving here and having the honor of reading and enjoying your hallowed hubspace
....and thank you for your royal endorsement of my humble little hupage - coming from such a great writer and hubber like you - really means a lot.
I will be posting this most beautiful list to my Facebook page with a direct link back here because I feel we all need to use these thoughts and suggestions as a reference from time to time - and yes I was unaware about Cancer Breast Awareness month so my poem is good timing and we all have our own cancer stories unfortunately in real life - I lost my dad to lung cancer back in 1992 at the age of 74.
Thank you epi :))
It is simply superb ! reading your hub too can be added as one reason of smiling :) great share mate

I smile every time I see a new hub appear from you. Why? because your so upbeat and uplifting to all you come in contact with. I am smiling now typing this, my fingertips have little smiley faces on them, they love to be pressed against my keyboard, especially when they are typing to a smiley lady like Sunshine. Wonderful hub, now I can't wipe the smile off my face. LoL

Im bookmarking so I can always remember that there are SO many reasons to smile. Some days can be a little rougher than others and I need that reminder. Thanks for posting this - I laughed like a silly kid at the chubby baby making a mean face and then said aaaaw at the sentiment under it "it might be the only sunshine he sees that day"
I love the song you used. It is my song for my baby girl! Thanks for the Monday morning smiles!

Trading raspberries with my grandson. Sure, he's really too old to be doing that now (and so am I!), but it's kind of our (albeit messy) code for "Love you!"

an addition to #40: Finding out the EX's current wife is playing around on him. What goes around... tee hee ;D
