To be honest, I notice it a lot when I am out running or biking. I will try to say "HI" or "Good morning/ afternoon" to everyone I pass. You would be STUNNED at how many people won't even make look up. I mean honestly, what does it take to acknowledge someone?!

And even though I notice it more frequently when I am out running or biking (maybe it is because I do that rather often ;)), it happens EVERY WHERE I GO! Whether I am checking the mail, shopping for groceries, going to CHURCH, eating at a restaurant, etc... It's like people think if they make eye contact with me I may attack... Or that you will get "stuck" in a conversation for hours. I promise, I don't bite and am only saying HELLO!

Are you a smiler? Or a sour puss?

As a kid I always said "Smile & the world will smile back." That slogan/thought has always stayed with me.
I am definitely a smiler. When running, going to the grocery store, or just out and about. A smile and a hello is painless to you but may mean the world to someone else.
This is such a timely post because I was talking to my friend about this over the weekend. I encounter the same thing on my runs, or even just every day life. Not sure why people are so grumpy, but all we can do is just continue to smile, stay happy and positive and hope it changes someone's mood! :)
