August Happiness Challenge
06 August 2016
Every time I start to write one of these posts, I am reminded of a Will Smith movie my child-bride Suzanne and I watched once called, The Pursuit of Happyness. There was a sign on his son’s daycare center that had The Pursuit of Happyness written on the front window of the building. This sign, even though the phrase was spelled wrong, inspired Will Smith’s character throughout the movie.
What is your inspiration today?
Thinking about this little sign makes me happy. The fact that the misspelling of happiness was the very reason it stood out to Will Smith’s character and most of the audience kind of makes me happy as well.
Do you know, that drove me nuts throughout the movie, the misspelling of that word...smiles. --Have a beautiful day David and Suzanne.
ReplyDeleteThat is funny. It bothered Suzanne, too. That sort of thing doesn't usually bother me. I often use the wrong word on purpose just to see what happens. There is one sign that continues to stand out in my mind as frustrating. It was one of those changeable letter signs that were so popular years ago. Like the sign in my post, the day Patrick came to town. The sign said:
DeleteSpring has sprung
Fall has fell
Come on in
We are having a sale.
I never shopped in that store.
That was a good movie.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We thought so, too.
DeleteI find myself looking for things that make me happy for this challenge and it has made such a difference in my daily routine. I love it! Did I ever ask y'all which part of SC you lived?
ReplyDeleteWe lived in the Upstate in the Starr-Iva Area. I grew up in Iva and Suzanne grew up in Homeland Park and then, later, Starr. Are you in S.C.?
