I'm an avid walker and cycle quite a bit too and as I go about my "business" each day I am bound (even with my endeavors taking place in the 6 o'clock hour) to pass fellow human beings. I, like most found that while I was passing, I was prone to put my head down, look at my phone, up at the coolest cloud formation...anywhere but at the face of the person coming at me. So I challenged myself. To say "Good Morning" , "Hello" or at the very least SMILE at EVERY person I passed. From kid to the most "senior senior"... NO EXCUSES! Well, I did it and was amazed at two things. One, it was much harder than I thought it would be and two, only one person didn't engage me back. Here's the deal. When all is said and done...I've decided that I don't want to be the one who didn't smile. I challenge you to break through to something new next time you're out in about. I challenge YOU not to be the one who didn't smile. Make it GRAND!
