howdy!

it strikes me there are two kinds of strangers:

the ones who smile at you in return, in a communion of spirit with spirit as we briefly pass each other by; and those who avert their eyes in deep suspicion, wondering furiously at the motive behind your smile.

for information, i am on a one-woman crusade to smile proactively and randomly at people i meet. i find it makes my days unexpectedly cheerful, and it throws the morose ones off their balance a tiny bit. join me.
