Dec 22, 2014 - THE FEEL GOOD SMILE - Hey kids, "Be Happy! - Smile" Sometimes easier said then done!" Grandma's been furniture shopping for her Birthday - you know it is coming soon. While she shops, I read the books that furniture stores use to decorate their displays. I came across one on "Behavioral Techniques" to use to avoid depression- avoid the "Frumps". Technique #1 - "Be with happy people - Smiling people - People who clown around" (I found at least 40 more techniques that I will tell you of in future Blogs) - Smiles are really "Feel Good" universal icons - Witness the Smiley Face - Hey where did it come from - well here is one version of it's history: In the 1994 Robert Zemeckis film, Forrest Gump stumbles into the history books as he runs across the country. At one point, he meets a poor T-shirt salesman who, Gump recalls, “wanted to put my face on a T-shirt but he couldn’t draw that well and he didn’t have a camera.” As luck would have it, a truck drives by and splashes Gump’s face with mud. He wipes his face on a yellow T-shirt and hands it back to the down-on-his-luck entrepreneur, telling him to “have a nice day.” The imprint of Gump’s face left a perfect, abstract smiling face on the bright yellow t-shirt. And thus, an icon was born.

I added 5 or so photos here that I think tell you Be Happy - and Make you feel good - These are real Smily Faces!

I added 5 or so photos here that I think tell you “Be Happy” – and Make you “Feel Good” – These are real Smiley Faces on Real People – They each make me feel good!

So, my furniture store visit gave me the idea to tell you how important I think it is to be with happy people. I know you are one of the happy people we all want to be with!
