Hi Kmeb:

You sound like a sweet soul who doesn't want to cause any trouble nor do you want to make anyone uncomfortable. Am I correct??

You have to learn not to smile, and you have to learn how to frown.

I mean, what is a smile??? A frown turned upside down, right??

So the next time you really feel lousy, before you step up to the nurse's desk, take a breather, think how you feel, keep your face still, and show the true nature that is in a person's eyes. The eyes never lie.

If you don't feel well, let your eyes do the talking.
You can even say "I'm not myself today, I don't feel well".

That sentence alone speaks volumes.

Take care hon.
