In real life too I smile at everyone I meet. Right from the paperman in the morning. No use showing everyone a grumpy face. It makes everyones day better and mine too.

Come to think of it, it IS actually easy to make somebody smile. Just a small compliment can make a BIG difference in how a person's day would go. Evn a little gesture could do so much. Humans are relatively easy to please in little ways.

wow wow wow! I like this.......in fact am all smiles right now as am reading this. I like numbers 95. Compliment a coworker on their role in a successful project. - (Hard to swallow when in competition for upraise) 96. Give your spouse a spontaneous back rub at the end of the day. - A nag instead 97. Serve someone in your family breakfast in bed. - Husband to wife only in special occassions This are the most difficult one for a common person to do! If most of us practised the above ways we could be having a small heaven down here. Thanks for sharing with us.
