whimsical wednesday!

this was a great day for smiley wearing as i was out and about all day long taking care of some of the never ending errands list.  i encountered many people as a result.  before leaving the house i stuck three small, yellow smiley face stickers on my clothing at the shoulder.  a good spot for them to be seen by others.  everywhere i went i was treated very well as all the clerks in the stores i shopped at were more helpful and friendly than usual. as i walked around i got sideways glances as people weren't sure they wanted to acknowledge my accessory but they were interested.  at least five people i did not know said hi.  children loved that i had smiley stickers.  they looked and grinned.  they got winks in return.  the true test was the courthouse stop.  the employees are typically crabby and work at being as little help as possible to citizens.  however, today, with my smiley face stickers and my own pleasant smile i not only got help but help like never before when doing business at the courthouse!  i was duly impressed.  lunch with a friend was part of the day's activity and she loved that i was wearing three smiley stickers. she wondered why though and my response was that i decided today was silliness day and that others seemed to enjoy my stickers.  she raved about them throughout the meal. before we parted i took one of the smiley stickers and stuck it to her t-shirt and invited her to have a silly day too.  she was so excited it would seem she had been given diamonds. she declared she was going to see if people she encountered enjoyed her sticker as much as the people i encountered enjoyed mine.  today proved to be the hottest day of the year as the temperature soared well above 100.  it could have been a day in which all i encountered were grumpy.  i am convinced that my pleasant self and my happy, silly smiley stickers made the day for everyone.  this whimsical wednesday was a huge success.
