Saturday – around 5:15pm. I was walking home on Leeds street in front of the NSCC and saw this girl jogging and when she passed me I smiled at her and she gave me this big smile back. I usually always smile at people and most of them just ignore it or give me dirty eyes! Thank you for smiling back at me, not such a good day today but you certainly cheered me up! =) I hope you have a wonderful day, as you deserve it! Thanks to all of you who acknowledge my smiles and are kind enough to smile as well.

I live in the north end and find that alot of people smile at me or say hi when I pass them but not in other areas of the city. I wonder why?
Northend too and I smile or return smiles all the time. It cost nothing and like the OP stated it can make someones day. Go ahead HFX and give it a try.
