Smile at a stranger – the little things can make a huge difference.

Walking to the parking garage after a hectic morning at the new job and an all-afternoon meeting at the old job:

Man, walking towards me: (singing outloud)

Me: (rubbing eye randomly)

Man: Don’t cry!

Me: Oh, I’m not.

Man: Have a lovely day!

Me: Thanks, you too!

Man: (walks on, singing)

I continued on to my car, grinning like a fool the whole time. Not sure why, but this was a great pick-me-up and made my day. Going to try to pass it on.
