Every Cloud has a Silver Lining they say...


Every cloud has a silver lining...this picture was taken while we were driving back frm chicago to peoria . Personally, the sky never ceases to amaze me. I enjoy every time i watch the sky. I dunno i kinda feel that someone frm there is looking down on me and i wish i cud see him...the sky is more personal than u think. enuf of senti's,...no matter wat always a picture of the sky with the clouds...always makes a great wallpaper...or a beautiful pic hung on the wall!
So every cloud has its silver lining huh! well..this one here happened to have a golden lining....
ok when i googled abut this particular quote..one says..that It was adapted frm John Milton's Comus and the other claims tat Don Marquis quoted this...so who said this one finally? are these two the same people in different or same eras? or did they exist in a parallel universe...ok..ok as in PKS..(Pammal K Sambandham..) let me not analyze the quote..lets jus enjoy it!!

In September of 1970 they drew up a smiley face added the words "Have a nice day," and copyrighted the image and words. Soon they and their many imitators were cranking out buttons, posters, greeting cards, shirts, bumper stickers, cookie jars, earrings, bracelets, key chains, and many other items. The fad lasted about a year and half; the number of smiley buttons produced by 1972 was estimated at 50 million.
