The reason I ask is because I noticed something alarming the other day.

Here's the backstory:

I know a woman who is too preoccupied to smile.

When she isn't rushing around with her to-do list, she's harping about the items left undone.

But the other day I noticed something remarkable. She took a reprieve from the rushing and complaining and let her face well up into a smile - no not a fleeting, surface smile - but a deep-creased radiant smile that lasted for an entire conversation.

Frankly, I didn't recognize the woman.

Then it occurred to me - I wonder if I look like an entirely different woman when I smile.

Are you too preoccupied to smile?
