So, one day I got in my car to go do some errands. As I was pulling out of the driveway, I decided to do an experiment as I made my way around the neighborhood to make my various stops. My plan was to see how many people I could get to smile at me as I passed them along the street. I wasn’t giving them one of those mild mannered smiles either, it was the full ear to ear variety. The response was fabulous. From people walking their dogs, to gardeners mowing lawns, to the UPS guy, even to a man on scaffolding stuccoing a house, they all literally stopped, and then smiled back, and hugely, not a mere obligatory grin. They seemed happily surprised. It was beautiful. Such warmth. I was uplifted for the rest of the day!
