Take Off Your Cranky Pants!

There are a lot of grumpy people out there.  The ones in their cars trying to pass you while you wait at the crosswalk to let a group of middle schoolers pass by to the people waiting in line at Kohl’s to return a sweater.  You know what I’m talking about.  Sour faces, impatient sighs and a general aura of crankiness surrounding them.

Me?  I’m a smiler.  I try to smile at anyone I make eye contact with. The Mom struggling with her toddler in the ice cream aisle gets a kind “I’ve been there” smile.  The runner zipping past me on the street gets a smile as she smokes me.  Even with hard core grumpsters I attempt to woo.  Cause you never know someone might just need a show of kindness.  And don’t we all have days like that?

Now go run! And say Hi to everyone you pass or who passes you!

    Keli, this is so true! People just melt when shown a smile, and if everyone would just slow down and show everyone some consideration, they’d be all the happier.
