The Wave

Hello Everyone!

In my zest to better my health through physical fitness I have been passing my option to drive to work each day and have been walking ( About a mile in distance ) during one of my trek's to work this past week the following scene played out :

Walking on a sidestreet close to the curb, as there was no sidewalk, I happed to be passed by a US Postal Service truck.. I lifted my hand and cast a gestured wave..the driver smiled at me and waved back ... which caused me to smile too ... as I got a few feet further I passed a man bycycling and again .. lifted my hand to wave and as he passed he smiled and said " Good Morning to ya ! " ... closer to work I passed one final person a elderly man walking his dog .. I waved and smiled because by now I'm feeling pretty upbeat about the kindness of others and the man smiled, said " Hello! Beautiful day isnt it ??" and a short conversation about the weather was held between two strangers.

As I finished off the last bit of my journey to work I pondered...What about a wave is not a good thing! At sports events crowds do "the wave" which brings fun! and joy!, when you are "waved on" its usually a sigh of goodness that is felt, surfers share great adventures and happiness ridding that big "wave" and a simple shake of a hand from one person to another still can bring the greatest of feelings! If I'd not waved and just stared at my feet when I passed by I'd have missed out on all those feel good moments! The opportunity to share a kindness and meet someone new. So bravo for the wave! Here here for taking a chance to say Hello! and Applause for those kind hearts in the world who open up to smile and wave and make the day a bit brighter for others! *Waves*



Todays Poem:

The Wave

Hand held up in the sky
shake it a bit to passers by
add a smile and kind hello
brigtening a day as you go

Nod your head, wink your eye
Kindly greetings hello goodbye
little things that we can do
help to beat away the blues!

Wave your hand, speak your heart
for new friendship, make a spark
if any advice ever to save
its never forget the power of a wave!
