Smile because of being happy or being happy because of smile?
For a long time, I take it for granted that if we feel happy then we smile. That is to say, we are glad so we smile. But few days ago, I read a book in which the author hold that we smile then we are happy. It seems that we smile first then we get the feeling of happiness.
Then I try this theory. I just sit down and smile though nothing happens. And it seems that I feel a little happy at that moment. Haha, I know I may sound a little silly. But I still want to know your opinions. What do you think? Do you have this kind of feeling? : )

Hi Katherine,
I have also heard about this research study, in which researcher discovered that the act of smiling makes people happy, even when they start off in a neutral mood. It's interesting! I try to remind myself of it and I do think there is some truth to it.
Also, in my corrections I assumed that you meant to say that you tried this out once, not that you try it continuously. That's why I assumed you wanted to put all the verbs in past tense. Anyway, your writing is good and I like your choice of topic!
