Have you smiled today? Well, you should because today is World Smile Day! Whether you’re celebrating your birthday, your half-birthday, or just Friday, there is always a reason to celebrate and smile.

How World Smile Day Got Started

It started with the smiley face. Created by commercial artist named Harvey Ball in 1963, the smiley face was used as part of a campaign to boost company morale. Harvey said that it only took ten minutes to create and soon after the company began printing the signature smiley face on buttons, desk cards, and posters. By the 1970s, the smiley face fad erupted, and the rest is history.
After years passed, Harvey’s concern grew over the commercialization of his iconic image. He wanted the smiley face to represent happiness, and so he decided to reserve one day of the year devoted to helping people smile: the first friday of October. He called it World Smile Day, and, while it started in his hometown, Worchester, Massachusetts, World Smile Day is now celebrated all over the world!
