You can't control the length of your life, but you can control its width and depth. You can't control the contour of your face, but you can control its expression. You can't control the weather, but you can control the atmosphere of your mind. Why worry about things you can't control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you?

So, how do you control the width and depth of your life, the expression on your face, the atmosphere of your mind?
It ain't easy being green.
Maybe thought by thought by thought. And then you're still green, but maybe a better shade, ya think?
When I was little, my mother used to tell me to smile more often, as I looked so serious. That's not to say I didn't have a lot of fun and laughed a lot, because I did. I played through a lot of my childhood.
I didn't take the message of smiling to heart then, but I do now. It may change more than the contours of our faces. We become more like what we look. At any rate, I like my face better when I smile. It didn't make so much difference in my 20s, but it does now.
