A Smile and Good Morning

--by fsmall52, posted Apr 16, 2014

Wednesday morning, September 11, the first day of the 21-Day Challenge: I said "good morning" and smiled at every person I saw. Out of dozens of people I passed on my morning run, one lady walking her dog, smiled back. Another person, stationary, to whom I said "good morning", smiled and returned my greeting.

Even with such modest returns, it felt good to start my day offering good cheer and reminding myself and others that we're all connected.
