Be the Smile You Wanna See in the World!

This room isn't gonna light itself up!  Better turn on your smile, like me!

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Thursday to you! 

So!  How's it going?

Hey, have ya ever wished that the world was a more smiley, friendly place?  Didja know that it can be, and that you can be part of what makes it smilier and friendlier? 

It's true.  Smiliness, friendliness, and kindness are all highly contagious things.  Maybe not as contagious as anger and fear, but with a little muscle behind 'em, smiliness, friendliness, and kindness can make an even bigger impact than anger and fear.

All it takes to get started is deciding you're gonna make the world smilier, friendlier, and kinder.  Then you start doing just that.  You smile at people you meet.  You say 'Hiya, howdeedo?' or whatever your greeting of choice may be.  Ya talk about neutral topics such as the weather, even though some people say they hate "small talk," but when you don't really know somebody and ya wanna reach out and connect with them as a fellow traveler on this lonely little planet, small talk is all you've got, just starting out.  You can get to the substantive stuff later. 

In the end, everybody just wants to feel like they exist, that other people can see 'em and acknowledge their presence.  I'd dare to bet that even the most curmudgeonly among us just wants to be acknowledged as a fellow human being.

Be kind, Friends.  We're all just travelers, tryin' to find our ways Home!

I love ya lots, Big People, and I'll see ya tomorrow!  Muah!
