These are all things that can make a person smile just reading about. But smiles seem harder to come by these days. I can't tell you how many times I've watched as people pass me by and tilt their heads to the ground. Maybe it's fear, fear of allowing another individual, if only for a moment, to see who they are. When I smile at someone on the street, I am surprised at the reaction.
Some people are uncomfortable with smiling.
Their eyes catch mine, and I smile. Immediately my intentions have failed. I didn't make their day a little brighter. But a smile can make a day worthwhile, at least for me anyway. It can be something you remember throughout the day and fall asleep dreaming about.
