Anyone I can get eye contact with, anyone who seems to be looking through me. I read something like this: http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelongbeauty/tp/smiling.htm and it fascinates me that by smiling I can make myself happier and others maybe have a better day. <br />Yes, I manipulate other people by smiling at them on the street.Ihnasarimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967375675131412948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37027389.post-89605711760713907852009-05-06T22:56:00.000-05:002009-05-06T22:56:00.000-05:00Wonderful.

A few years ago I made a point of going about my day with a mild smile upon my face. (Say "serenity" and hold the expression it puts on your face.) People DO notice and respond to it. I had people come up to me to start a conversation, offer me a cup of coffee, dinner, dates and so on....just based on a smile and a peaceful countenance that caught their attention. I was cautious and never acted upon these invitations, but took the time to share a few impromptu moments with them, just showing that another human being cared. Of all the people I touched while walking about with a mild smile on my face, I think the one I influenced the most was.....myself. When you don't feel much like smiling, smile anyway and see how it changes your day!Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670952038534759102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37027389.post-60362294843702631852009-04-29T11:24:00.000-05:002009-04-29T11:24:00.000-05:00Wow all you guys are awesome.

If you stick around, the blog is moving to Wordpress; see the most recent post. <br /><br />Lynn, I am not sure that I think smiling is ever really creepy...unless it's coming from a creepy place. When I'm leered at, or someone does that long-fixed-staring smile, yeah, that gets creepy...but maybe the reason I'm so smiley to strangers is I've realized how rarely *I* find it to be strange, and how often it brightens up my day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409709212362887409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37027389.post-71785638459091669222009-04-29T11:12:00.000-05:002009-04-29T11:12:00.000-05:00Back again.

They and the people I know always smile back. But there are a few regulars who never smile, so I give them their space and avoid eye contact. Well what do you know, after your post today I caught one of the driven joggers after he stopped to read one of the new plaques and made a comment "Wow, you never stop! You're always on the move!" We exchanged a few words about the historical markers and then again when he passed the second time. I hope I can include him in my "smile-at category" after all, it does have to be mutual or else it turns creepy.

And she is right!<br /><br />I try to smile at strangers to, all the while remaining cautious (I live in a big town and not everybody has your best interest at heart, you know what I mean?) because recently, a stranger told me I need to keep smiling my beautiful smile. So know you're not alone in your mission to better the world, one smile at a time. lol<br /><br />As for mercy, that made me tear up too... How to get to that? I do have ppl in my life whom I should be merciful toward, but my heart aches so much it makes it difficult to get to that place. I am determined though and will find a way...<br /><br />Bless you!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077451527695523972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37027389.post-5392213146350428802009-04-29T06:04:00.000-05:002009-04-29T06:04:00.000-05:00Also wandered over from Alison's blog.

That's the entire job description. <br /><br />I live in the Midwest, where smiling at strangers is pretty normal. But we won't be staying here for the duration. I'm a bit concerned we'll end up someplace where I'll be 'freaking people out' by smiling.

The essence of truly living. And you, my dear friend, capture them well and then turn around and gift the rest of us with what you so clearly see. Thank you, Kristine. Thank you.
