"Even just smiling at a stranger on the street, how many of us do that? I'd like to share a poem:
Smile
She smiled at a sorrowful stranger,
The smile seemed to make him feel better
He remembered past kindnesses of a friend and wrote him a thank-you
letterThe friend was so pleased with the thank you
That he left a large tip after lunch.
The waitress surprised by the size of her tip, bet the whole thing on a
hunch.The next day she picked up her winnings, and gave part to a man on the
street.The man on the street was grateful; for two days he'd had nothing to eat.
After he finished his dinner,
He left for his small dingy room.
(He didn't know at the moment that he might be facing his doom).
On the way he picked up a shivering puppy and took him home to get warm.
The puppy was very grateful to be in out of the storm. That night the house
caught on fire.The puppy barked the alarm
He barked 'til he woke the whole household and saved everybody from harm.
One of the boys that he rescued grew up to be president. All this because of
a simple smile that hadn't cost a cent.So why not give someone a smile the next time ur out and about?"
Join in on this thoughtful discussion Why do u think we find it easier to hate instead of love?.

When you find it easier to love instead of hate you create an atmosphere for great things to happen. A smile is Vitamin E to someone's ego for it says I am happy to see you and I am glad to be in your presence. A community that shows love to the people around them receives the same love in return.
I couldn't agree with you more! What you project is what you attract so why not smile instead of frown?! I really do take notice when I meet a really nice person even if it is just a brief encounter. It brightens my day!
