This is what I love: Yang.

There's so many great things around me and sometimes I tend to forget them or they are overcastted by negative things. So this is my thread for the things that I love.

So the first thing I'm adding to this thread is strangers who smile at you! I love it. It's so simple and kind, and I find it makes such a difference. I love people who can be kind for the sake of being kind. Too many of us are too busy, rushing around, being cold to each other, smiling is such a simple thing, and for me it makes a difference. I also love strangers who will share stories I always find it fascinating. So thank you to all the strangers that take a moment to say hello, share a story or just a smile, because it always makes a difference in my day, and I try to pass that on to others. :)

Yeah, completely know what you mean about smiling strangers, unless they're mentalists or pedophiles, in which case it's not quite so nice....

There is a truth in that we should recognize when people are generous and kind enough to acknowledge you with a simple smile and greeting. Today walking about most people I came across where very receptive and generous in that sense, it does fill you up with warmth and makes it easy to reciprocate.

I agree, it's great to just be walking down the street and someone you've never seen before smiles at you, in an age where everyone seems so apathetic and disrespectful.

I always try to smile at people too.

That's definitely a wonderful thing. I have to admit though, I'm too shy for it most of the time. The only strangers I smile at are pensioners! (Or attractive females ;)). They're all very responsive though, give a big smile back and everything.

I like when strangers say 'God Bless You' aswell. Not sure why, just gives me a nice feeling I guess.
