Today I was on the road for more than 3 1/2 hours but never left the metropolitan area of my city. There was just way too much construction on roads with too many cars, and then rain on top of it all. People drove like they just learned how. It wore me out.
Toward the end, I had to stop for gas. The man who pulled up next to me smiled and said hello. I didn't know him, but I said hi back. Having someone take a moment to be friendly made my day. And he said bye when he left. Then he let me in the queue of cars in line for the exit. I wish there were more people like him on the roads.
We can put more people like him out there with a few more smiles, like putting the phone down when walking by someone. Instead, look at them and smile.
There are days I just don't feeling like smiling. This has been rough year dealing with lots of change. Adjusting to this new life as a single girl isn't easy. But I try to anyway, and sometimes smiling cheers me up - especially if someone smiles back. I know the friendly man cheered me up today. He made me be more patient with others on the roads - even though some of them were really bad drivers.
But with all of these smiles, it doesn't necessarily mean they want to get in your pants. Perhaps they're just happy and want to share it.
Share one today and I'm almost certain you'll be it back.
Love to the single girls,
Addison
