May. 29th, 2011 10:04 amYesterday I went for a run - a long one, 9 miles. Given that more and more people are out and about these days as we get closer to summer, this gave me more than enough time to run into a lot of people. I smiled at maybe 9 or 10 people whom I passed on my run...and not one of them smiled back! In their defense it was raining, so maybe they were all a little put out, but not a single one in 10 people smiled.
Two of them continued to glare at me, one of them warily eyed my ipod cord and shirt, and all the rest just continued to look at me with an unwelcoming, slightly disapproving, blankness.
But I was in a good mood, even running in the rain. I've been happy lately. Their attitudes didn't bother me at all. At the end of the day, I was just glad that after everything I at least have regained the will to smile at strangers.
