Still Smiling.

I made myself smile.

As you know, I walk and walk alone. Yesterday, after saying hello to yet one more of my neighbors, I remarked to myself, "How lovely! Everyone in my neighborhood greets me, smiles, says hi, asks how I am or we talk briefly about the weather." I don't actually know these people, but we always exchange pleasantries.

Friendly human contact. A brief acknowledgment of the other's place on the planet.

Then, out of nowhere, I thought, "thank goodness we don't have to sniff butts!"

I smiled all the way home.
