#009 - country smile harvest (a note)


Walking in the country giving out a smile,
Waving to the people and cars as they go by,
Hello Mr post man
Hello doctor Ben
It sure is nice to share a smile and pass it on again.

The other day I walked down the street  harvesting smiles. As I smiled at strangers I observed that there were two basic responses: 1) A smile was returned to me, or 2) the stranger would avert their eyes. Interestingly if I included a slight head tilt or a hello I was guaranteed a smile in return. 

I live in a country town about 60 min from the city. I found that for every person that avoided my smile there were roughly 3-4 returned smiles. I'd love to hear what ratio others get. Happy smile harvesting!

:)
