Post number 2 for the week! I am on a roll! I am trying to spread out my posts but I am learning and seeing so many differences! It is fun to see all the differences!
Today I was out walking with a neighbor/friend. This is the second time we have walked this week and it feels SOOO good to get in the groove again. She is such a sweet heart and I am so happy to have her to walk with and call her a friend!
Anyway, We walked for an hour and a half. We just have so much to share with each other that we lose track of time and of where we are. LOL! As we were walking every person or car that drove by us waved. I didn't know these people so I was assuming Lori probably knew them. Around the 5th car that drove by, which had an elderly couple in it and the woman was waving an smiling so big, I asked Lori, "do you know them?" Lori said, "no, they are just really sweet!" I then asked, "have you known any of the people that have waved to us today?" She answered no.
I am amazed at how friendly people are here in Oklahoma. Again, another love! Every time I have been out and about people smile, say hello, wave, hold doors, etc. even when you don't know them. also, everyone is so willing to help. All the people we have met have been so helpful and it is just great! Another big difference from Minnesota. Not that people aren't friendly in Minnesota...we do have the "Minnesota Nice" claim to fame, but I do have to say the majority are not as nice as they are here in the South!
It really makes a persons day when someone says hello to you or just smiles. I am learning that it makes me feel good and I should do it more often! So, I challenge you all to do the same! When you are out and about...say hello, smile, hold doors, wave, etc. to people you don't even know! You never know what you will do for someone!
