There's so much drama on steemit lately

maybe that's why there were only four valid entries this week?!

Or was it the Bitcoin Fork? Or the BTC-e bust?

Does it even matter?

When there's so many frowns around,
that's just the right time to bring out the #GooglyEyes!

Let's forget the drama for a minute and focus on the smiles!

Thank you: @davor27, @deemarshall, @ewkaw, @girlbeforemirror, @hazel420, @hopehuggs and @stresskiller for sending in your heartwarming googly entries this week.
