keep smiling

Do you use smiley faces? Do you receive smiley faces? Do you wish you had a smiley face?

Where did smiley faces come from? Did Forrest Gump come up with them when he wiped his mud-covered face off with a yellow t-shirt, and said "Have a nice day"?

What about the craze of computer smileys, which started out as :) and have evolved into a whole culture of smileys, or emoticons!



No matter how grouchy you're feeling,
You'll find the smile more or less healing.
It grows in a wreath
All around the front teeth -
Thus preserving the face from congealing.

~Anthony Euwer


Here is a 'you make me smile award' from fellow blogger (and quilter and transcriptionist) Gypsy Quilter, who recently passed it on to me, thanks!



Smiling is infectious,
U can catch it like the flu.
Someone smiled at me today,
And I started smiling too,
Now I am passing it on to you!
