I’ll have to remember that!
It sure makes me smile at my wrinkles!
Great quote, Jennie.
Thank you, John. I do love my wrinkles. 🙂
I love the quote, but can’t say I am liking my wrinkled face or taking it gracefully. 😀
Hahaha! I think being a preschool teacher has every wrinkle shining in the sky (or the classroom). 😍
😄
Love it! 😍
🥰
I love that!
😍
Now there’s a quote I can get behind!
🙂
One of my most favorite authors.
Mine, too. This quote of his was new to me.
There are forty-three muscles in the face. Seventeen are used when you smile, but all forty-three are used when you frown.
Really? Thank you, Pete. I’m going to spread the news at school today.
I didn’t actually remember that stat (I had to look it up), but I remembered the sentiment. It’s a lot easier to smile than frown. Have a great day, Jennie. P.S. I’m smiling. 😊
Good to know! I’m smiling, too. 😀
Old Sam left us a good quote there, Jennie. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes, he did. His wit was sharp and funny. Glad you enjoyed this.
We all need plenty of those. 🙂
Yes, we do! 🙂
Oh yes indeed! xx
Mark Twain makes me love every one of my (many) wrinkles. Thank you, Joy.
Blimey I smile a lot so I should have them aplenty. 😊😊
Haha! I think that’s a good thing 🙂
Me too😊😊😊😊
I like to smile at folk who are mean towards me. It unnerves them. A little Wicked I love it.
Good for you! 😀
