why not say "hello"?
we all have this places we go frequently. a lot of faces are familiar others are not, but we never talk to anyone.
so why not say "hello" today? and by hello I don't just mean a greeting, but maybe a few words. depending on where you are, inviting the person who just came in, to sit with you.
well, happened to me this morning and felt really good!
I stepped into the school cafeteria and was early to meet someone for coffee, so ready to sit down by myself. but before I could do so a woman (I've never seen before) looks up and says: "feel free to sit with me if you like."
now, how nice is that. she thought I am going to have coffee by myself, she's there by herself, why not get together. yes, why not.
so my morning got a nice little twist, made me smile and shine, probably more than I would have :-) reminding me of what a lovely yoga friend of mine would always say after class : "say hello, smile, wave to a person in the room you don't know yet."
it was always such a lovely way to end practice and letting you notice more of the people you were just sharing a yoga practice with.
so, wherever you go today, maybe you might get the chance to say hello, smile, wave to a person you don't know yet!
