Wave at Your
Neighbor Day
A man is called selfish,
not for pursuing his own good,
but for neglecting
his neighbor‘s.
~ Richard Whately
Yep, it was Wave at Your Neighbor Day yesterday, too. Thanks for paying attention! Just gotta figure it’s such a worthy reason to celebrate, that it gets two days. Neighborliness is a good policy 365 days a year–this year 366! BTW, today’s House Smiley permanently adorns the wall of the Kentucky Science Center–a children’s museum in Louisville.
House Smiley
In today’s Smiley-a-Day emailer, you get a different House Smiley (there are so many, it’s hard to choose just one!). Here’s one more.
It’s also Laugh and Get Rich Day over on this month’s Month of Smiley Silliness. Oh, is that how one gets rich? Yes, rich in happiness and joy.
Birthday Cake Smiley
Lots of birthdays today. Today we say happy birthday to Jack Lemmon (1925), Nick Nolte (1941), James Dean (1931), and Gary Coleman (1968). Typing all those names and thinking of all of their performances, I have a moment of gratitude for the makers of film, TV and stage. The art of acting is a wonderful thing! Sadly only Nick Nolte survives to eat cake tonight.
BTW, the Smileys and holidays on a month full of Smiley Silliness are all different than the ones you see here on the website’s Daily Smiley.
