The book says,
Pay attention to the people around you. Instead of standing next to the stranger for the elevator ride up several floors, look them in the eye and offer a greeting.
Hello is easy to say. It's only one word.
It might lead into a conversation about the weather, the latest news about your city or town, or something about the environment (the noise next door due to construction, for example).
You'll never know where the elevator chit-chat might lead if you don't open your mouth in the first place. And who knows!
That stranger could become a new friend or a romantic interest.
If you have read other posts for this section you will know that I am married and not seeking any other interests.
I have stated a couple of times in this section on Happy Relationships that we never know what another person is going through. That person in front of you at the grocery store or behind you in the grocery store could also be affected by this heroin epidemic here.
Some are stuck in the stigma that society has placed on the families of those suffering from addiction and I know how lonely of a place that can be. We lived there for eleven years- afraid to talk about it openly.
BTW November 21st is, World Hello Day!!!
Just for Today: In case no one told you today, Hello
From the book: Live Happy
