and when I’m out and about, sometimes to Kim’s dismay. I don’t think I can force myself to be much more friendly, so I’m retiring this goal for now. 6 years ago

1. Smile or wave at more people I see in my apartment community. I have few encounters with my neighbors, but making a point of offering a friendly gesture when I do pass someone would be nice.
2. Ask people casual questions about how their day is going, or what book they are reading on the bus, and really listen.
3. Give strangers compliments, if I like their skirt or tattoo.
4. Stop and talk to the people at school and at work that I pass every day. 7 years ago
