Your testimony certainly proves that a smile DOES make a difference in a person's life:)<BR/><BR/>Mindy, thank you so much for your kind words.<BR/><BR/>Lori, I'm so glad this was an encouragment to you in some way. BTW, I'm smiling now!!<BR/><BR/>Mississippi girl, I think we have the same Mama!<BR/><BR/>Mrs. Blythe, I am so glad your little one is okay. I am sure in that situation is would be very hard NOT to overreact. I think that is just a very normal human response. After all, we are Mama's!<BR/><BR/>Mrs. Pivec, may I tell you that your comment put a big smile on my face??!! I can just picture you riding your bike all over town ringing your little bell. I just love it!

I may need to make one if I can't find one! :)<BR/><BR/>One "nice" thing I like to do is ring my bicycle bell at people when I ride by. My bell sounds like a doorbell and I always get a surprised look and a smile - sometimes even a chuckle. Whether they're laughing at me or with me, doesn't really matter to me; it's just fun.<BR/><BR/>In the town I used to live in I passed a retirement home on the way to the library. There were always a number of folks sitting out on the front stoop in a line watching the world go by in the sunshine. I always waved and rang my bell at them... and I ALWAYS received smiles and waves back.<BR/><BR/>Great post; great sign.<BR/><BR/>I believe in NICE!Creative Life Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306288585957249405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29559473.post-1161100717231389192006-10-17T11:58:00.000-04:002006-10-17T11:58:00.000-04:00This is such a great post and a wonderful reminder...This is such a great post and a wonderful reminder.

One day I was driving along a narrow street in Williamsburg, and a very nice looking 30-ish young lady was walking along the sidewalk. I glanced at her as I drove by, and she was looking right at me and smiled at me! A big friendly have-a-nice-day kind of smile...given to a stranger not even on the sidewalk with her but in a car on the street!<BR/><BR/>I will never forget it, and this happened at least 8 years ago. And even now I can remember the warm feeling she gave me when she smiled.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post. I like nice people. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29559473.post-1161024225067825312006-10-16T14:43:00.000-04:002006-10-16T14:43:00.000-04:00Great post!

I've noticed the same thing....often my smile will be returned and if not, well I'm not really out anything and it probably still did make a difference.<BR/><BR/>As for being nicer to strangers than those I live with.....oi! I struggle with that at times too!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder. (o:<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>~Mrs.BCherish the Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334718202170470399noreply@blogger.com
