Another day, another cookie...
This morning I sincerely smiled at a stranger and he blinked, looked a bit taken back and then his eyes lit up and he smiled. His whole face lit up. I tried it again at the bus stop...and another smile.
Geo was curious.
I am going to do a smile survey today...anyone I do not know, I will look at them straight in the eye and smile sincerely and see how many people smile back VS look away or frown. Granted I don't work around a lot of people, so I don't know how many people I'll be able to inflict smiles upon, but I figure it can only be a good thing...the nerd in me may even make up graphs of results...I'll keep you posted.

And, if you decide you are going to smile at everyone, can that really be deemed a "sincere" smile? What is a sincere smile anyway?
If I smile because I'm happy, it is sincere in my books.
Certainly I will be shoot one of these days by some frightened granny.
And just so you're keeping accurate count, simply reading your post made me smile (a rare occurance in Rimshot-Face Town)
