I just watched that old classic "It's a Wonderful Life" again this weekend. Maybe the reason that movie lingers 60+ years later is the power of that message that we ARE affecting people, even if/when we don't realize it.

I may never know what difference that makes in someone else's life, but I do it anyway. Some people are suspicious of 'friendly' strangers; but I still do it. I know that there were times when I was feeling less than happy that a friendly greeting and/or smile made me feel better. We may not always know how what we do or say affects someone else. I think if we treat people how we would want to be treated, we can't go wrong. I have gotten in the habit of smiling and greeting everyone I see.
