There is something to be said about a smile to start your day. Or a smile to those you meet on the street. I walk a few nights a week with a girlfriend and one of her pet peeves is when people you pass while walking don't smile and/or say hello. She has a bright smile and a lovely "hello" to each every walker she meets. It takes some people by surprise!!! We live in a relatively small town, so one would think this isn't hard to do, but most people won't take the time to look up and make eye contact. If you want a smile, you need to send out a smile. If we all did that it would be a better place, a better day and possibly a better life.
So the next time your out for a walk, jog, bike ride. Take time and look up and smile and say "hello" to all those that pass you by. See how you feel. See how they react. Spread joy.

You are so right!!! A smile goes a long way on a small budget.
Amazing how you can make your day turn around, and that of a strangers.
