So there I was in the depths of depression, funny that we never say the heights of depression, I guess depression by its very definition is deep, wow, that's deep, and just like the brightest LIGHT BULB EVER I had this most brilliant thought . . . sit down, wait for it . . . LIFE, JUST BECAUSE IT IS LIFE-- IS GOOD!! And I mean really, really, REALLY good. GREAT in fact!!! Because, well, come on, the only other side to life is being dead and that is just not good! Not in any way! So life itself is WONDERFUL simply because, and here is the most important part, because it is LIFE!!! Yippee you should say every single moment I AM ALIVE!!! Whoa doggies that is such a FABULOUS thing!!! BUT, and yes, everybody has a big one as Peewee once noted--BUT, there do come those times when a little thing or a really big thing just trumps that happy good feeling and DANG! as one of my sons would say-you just cannot find a SINGLE THING that makes you smile. VOILA!!! The HAPPY FACE PROJECT is now here with you!! One of my friends was fighting a major depression, and being a survivor of the down and out gutter blues myself, I wanted to help her. I thought of painting these ridiculous HAPPY FACES and writing ungodly wonderful cryptic messages on the back and putting them all around our happy little seaside town!!! And I thought of doing it every single day for the month of June. Add to this compassionate and dare I say, HAPPY THOUGHT--the extreme design talents of my beloved granddaughter who designed AND painted AND photographed the very first NUMBER ONE HAPPY FACE, and the unmatchable skill set of her multi-talented mother and HERE YOU GO!!!! The number one HAPPY FACE of the Happy Face Project brought to you by our sincere wishes, hopes, and desires for your own happiness to put a smile back on your face. Photographed with a favorite polka-dot pillow and a striped kitten at home . . . the very best place of all!!!
