World Smile Day
The first Friday of October every year is celebrated around the globe as World Smile Day and hey, that’s today! This Day encourages you to take action to bring a few more smiles into the world. After all, sometimes it only takes a smile to make someone’s day!
First started in 1999 by the creator of the smiley, Harvey Ball, the holiday celebrates the intent behind the now universally recognized icon - to bring a smile of the faces of people around the world. The purpose of the holiday was the move away from the commercialization of the smiley and to use it as a symbol of kindness and affection.
So, how do we celebrate?
Make people around you smile. Do a random act of kindness. Surprise someone in your family with a visit, cook a meal for them, or do something special for them!
