Hello and welcome to the first Weekly Smile! I have 2 Smiles for the week.
My first Smile is for the New Year, for new hope and dreams. 2015 was actually very good for me and I’m optimistic that 2016 will be even better!
My second is Smile is about the “Weekly Smile” kick off. Sure, there might not be hundreds of people joining, but I will count it a great success if even a handful do. I’m really looking forward to opening this up to the world at large and seeing what everyone has to smile about! I’m sure our impact will be small, but, as fractal theory says, a fly’s wings in the Amazon can effect rice production in China – the tiniest movement can have large outcomes. Even if not, it is worthy to smile, even if just for our own sake.
And what are you smiling about this week? Did you have some good news? See a beautiful picture? See an act of kindness? Tell us about it!
Join us on the inLinkz linky below! There are few guidelines, but if you follow “keep it positive!” you’ll do OK. The graphic at the top can be used by anyone for this event. Note – I changed the graphic a little today so it isn’t cut off by inLinkz. Use the new one if you want it to display correctly in the linky.
I hope you have a Smile to share!
(The Link is open for a week. Although it starts Wednesday, you can add at any time! There will be a new one next week)

It’s not enough for a whole post but I’m smiling because I drove the car yesterday. :) FREEDOM!!

A post can be as long or as short as you want, but, hey, that IS something to smile about! Great! The roads of Oz will never be the same ;) I hope that means the recover is on track.

I’m visiting via Nancy from The View From The Porch. Anything that makes people smile is a good thing in my book :D

That’s exactly how I feel. I hope I can do a little something to get at least one or two smiles out of people from this series. Thanks for stopping by :)

Ohhhhhh, do my Three Things Thursday posts count for this? They’re all about the smiling and the happiness…but I don’t want to break any rules. :D

I don’t think that breaks any rules, just call it both :) When I wrote the rules (actually they’re more like guidelines than actual rules) I never said the smiles couldn’t be used elsewhere….

I’m sorry I didn’t answer earlier – this went to my spam folder. I’m not sure why, usually it only does that if there are a lot of links or something. Anyway, I’ll have to go back and see if you hit last week’s smile. If not, I hope you have a smile for this week, like maybe you remembered your debit card PIN or can use your phone again ;)

Actually, my comments ritualistically travel to people’s Spam folders to begin with, untill they’re approved and un-spammed..I had that fixed by WordPress last week! :)

That is really odd. I wonder if it is the word “Goddess” in your name? Since I see this I’m assuming that un-spamming and approving the other messages corrected the problem for my bog.

HA! Might very well be the Goddess :p

Oh, and I did forget to do the smile, BUT, I have managed to find my Debit card pin :D
Just need to figure out something for my phone now!

As long as you have something to smile about you don’t have to post it :) I’m glad you found your PIN. Is the SIM card something that could be easily and cheaply shipped? If not you’ll have to get a new one from the phone company.

Yes!I spoke to the company’s call centre and they’re supposed to mail me a free replacement SIM with the same phone number sometime this week or early next week. :)

Great! I know being without a phone isn’t fun, so hopefully it’ll be there soon.
