Awesome motto! Here in Palm Beach I try to smile at everyone I meet (some days it’s not possible, but most days I still do it). Most of the time I’m met with a scowl more often than not, but occasionally, the frowniest person will give me that look and I think..ok, its not working and then...they smile! Makes my day. :) I know I sound like Pollyanna, but really, what’s the point of not at least trying? I know they probably think I’m trying to steal their purse...

Here in Palm Beach I try to smile at everyone I meet

When I moved to San Antonio (from a town of 3,000) & would go out to lunch with my new friends, I would say HI to anybody who looked my way. My friends were mortified, because alot of them were men who they suspected were hitting on us.

When one of them (big-city girl) went 'back home' with me to visit, she noticed someone wave at me when we passed them on the county road & asked "Who was that?"
I said "I dunno."
"But you waved back." she said. I told her "Everyone waves at everybody here." She thought that was fantastic.

Funny how you don't really think about stuff like that until you see it from another's point of view.
