#92 A Smile Doesn't Cost A Thing

Every morning my children and I try to do the school/kindergarten run on foot. 

I have decided to smile and say "Good Morning" to everybody we encounter on our way, even those people who look down as they pass me and won't meet my eyes.

It's amazing how quickly people's defences fall when you give them some acknowledgement, however brief.

any new connections made? get any good neighbourhood gossip yet?! eye candy, maybe??

Imbi, it's you!  I was thinking about you this morning, so I did what any modern stalker with a laptop does - I googled you.  Mother of three?? When did that happen?  How did I miss it?  I miss you.  If you read this, send a smile my way - please get in touch.  xoxo
