Weekly Photo Challenge: Symbol

Scarborough, Ontario. August 2008

This is a symbol I use all the time, probably even daily.  There’s nothing like injecting some emotion and happiness into our daily conversations in text.  You can’t see if someone is being silly or sarcastic without one of these symbols.   Continue reading
