Ban honks and frowns.

Today, I'm at peace with myself. I know someone who likes to say, "We all need to be gazed upon with love." As much as we need hugs, or a paycheck or exercise--we need to look across a room and see someone smiling at us, with love in their eyes. It must nourish and sooth the spirit. My friends were only here overnight, but filled with smiles and hugs and loving gazes. I feel such a sense of well being.

I don't think most of us get near enough of that, in these hurried times where many people we encounter in a day are harried strangers. 

I read once that the trouble in men's hearts of late is because they are not smiled at often enough.

Sure works to make me feel content. I guess we all just want and need reassurance we're okay, we're visible, we're doing just fine, we're safe, we're valued. A smile, a loving look, says all of that. 

Versus all that honking, frowning, gesturing, and yelling we tend to get on the road and in grocery stores and malls and possibly at work. Down with honks and frowns! Up, up, with people.
