“I dream of a beautiful, happy world where everyone is friends and fighting becomes a rarity… So what do I do to help make this happen? I believe the small things we do, can have a positive impact on everyone and everything around us and find smiling and wishing a good day to the people we meet can be amazing!

Doing this makes me love the community I live in, especially when they wish a good day in return ♥ it helps that person behind the check-out counter in the local shop have a brighter day, because they’ve had a pleasant customer that’s acknowledged their existence. If they’re wearing a name badge I’ll use their name to greet them with, which makes it a personal greeting to them. It even has a positive impact on the next time I meet that person, as they are more likely to remember me and be friendly.

I’ve made many friends in my local community by doing this; many stop me in the street to have a chat, which is lovely. I’ve learnt so much from the people I’ve met; including other languages and fantastic recipes. The best thing about this is that it all came from that initial smile followed by a greeting for a good morning and the wish of a lovely day.

Please have a good day everyone, be that person you’d like to be friends with and don’t forget to smile :-)” -Mo Taylor
