Interjecting smiles and giggles — even laughs– can brighten lives — yours and others you meet. I found that, when I’m approaching a sales clerk or a fellow customer, there are opportunities for some form of humorous exchange. It begins with eye contact. This brief connection sets the stage. Perhaps a brief smile is exchanged. A quick comment can follow, and from there other remarks can follow with possible fun quips. I had this little drama play out at a used book store recently. We exchanged some brief quips and even a laugh. When I left, I had a positive feeling which set my day on a high. Humor, don’t leave your mind without it.
