if you meet people you don't know on the street with:
(1) a smile
(2) a hello
(3) indifference

I did an experiment yesterday because I was in such a great mood! The sun was shining, I went for the longest walk of the year, and so many people I met along the way I either smiled, said 'hello', or other friendly words that came into mind! I had so many positive reactions! Some people were taken aback by my friendliness and responded with a 'hi', a smile, or some conversation. One wonderful lady invited me to tour her flower garden any time I wanted to just because I told her how beautiful it was when I walked by in the mornings to go to work....

I feel someone has to start to acknowledge others; you never know what a friendly 'hello' does to a person who is either sad or going through a problem...I know someone's smile brightens my day or a problem I'm having...I just don't feel so alone....
