It's Saturday. If you're like most of us, at some point today, you'll be out running errands, doing things you don't want to do in places you don't want to be. You will most likely encounter a sea of frowns, impatient gestures and disinterested stares. Just take a few seconds to smile at someone. Smile at the person at the checkout line. Make eye contact with the shopkeeper and smile to show your gratitude. Even if he or she wasn't particularly helpful, perhaps your smile will encourage a gentler tone with the next person. No, it's not always easy. And, you don't have to be too extreme about it. But, if anger feeds on anger, surely a smile will do the same. We'll be one step closer to our own Belle Epoque, one smile at a time.
