This is not like me. This is something new. I don&#8217;t  talk to strangers, especially strangers who seem to be busy, even  if only in their private little worlds. Maybe especially then.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what it is,  really.  I&#8217;m not an unfriendly person. I just don&#8217;t want to intrude on  your  privacy. But, for some reason and for the first time in my life  that I  can recall I smiled broadly at the concentrating stranger and  chirped &#8212;  yes, I&#8217;ll use that verb again because it&#8217;s perfect &#8212; I <font style=\"font-style: italic\">chirped<\/font> &#8220;Good morning!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The   woman blinked and look momentarily confused and maybe just a tad   defensive. Who are you? What do you want? (I&#8217;m sure those were her first   thoughts.)  Why are you bothering me?<\/p>\n<p>But she forced herself to   smile weakly and nod slightly. I think she also picked up her pace  just a bit.<\/p>\n<p><font style=\"font-weight: bold\">Inside the store I  decided  to experiment. I chirped &#8220;Good morning&#8221; to almost everybody  just to see  their reactions.<br \/>\n<font style=\"font-weight: bold\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/font>The    people who work in the store responded in kind but they have to. It&#8217;s   their jobs, so they don&#8217;t really count. But, I give them a lot of  credit  for taking pride in their small, personal part-ownership of  Albertsons.  How can you not love people who love their jobs?<\/p>\n<p>A man  slightly older than me, wearing shorts and a Mexican tourist fishing  hat, smiled  broadly and returned my greeting as I scooped up baby red  potatoes.  I  think he and I could have sat down at Starbucks, had a cup  of coffee and  solved all the problems of the world together.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_AQRnZwa-8ck\/TCI74iPvq3I\/AAAAAAAAAb0\/KKT9TKGlS1Y\/s1600\/Grocery%2Bshopping%2Bguy.jpg\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();}  catch(e) {}\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_AQRnZwa-8ck\/TCI74iPvq3I\/AAAAAAAAAb0\/KKT9TKGlS1Y\/s320\/Grocery%2Bshopping%2Bguy.jpg?resize=161%2C161\" style=\"float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486013138542242674\" width=\"161\" border=\"0\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a>I  guess it stands to reason that men about my age or slightly older would  be the most likely to find genuine cheer in my greeting than younger men  or women of any age.<\/p>\n<p>In the cold and  pain relief aisle I met a  guy I would guess to be in his late 30s or  early 40s. He smiled, nodded  and said &#8220;Hi!&#8221; brightly but rather  professionally. For a brief moment I  felt like a prospective client but  his smile whipped right past me to  his watch. I&#8217;m sure he didn&#8217;t mean to  do that. This is the best place  I&#8217;ve ever written for me to use the  word, &#8220;perfunctory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I  encountered a young woman in the pasta  sauce section. She had a small  girl by the hand and a baby in the  basket. (In a baby carrier in the  shopping cart, I mean.)  She looked  pleasantly surprised by my  greeting, returned my smile, gave me a little  finger wave and  cheerfully said, &#8220;Hello!&#8221; I think I amused her. It  struck me that  without noticing I have apparently slipped into the age  where young  women no longer think I&#8217;m trying to hit on them. They  probably think  I&#8217;m just a cute, harmless old man now.<\/p>\n<p>Darn.<\/p>\n<p>But,  I  continued.<\/p>\n<p>A woman about my age glanced at my chirpy intrusion   and said nothing. She quickly transformed her glance into one of those   panning gazes beyond me as if to appear that was she was looking   wistfully for her long-departed love to return from war. Or maybe she   was looking for the saltine crackers aisle.<\/p>\n<p>I was careful to not   chirp &#8220;Good morning!&#8221; to any children. Especially not little girls.<font style=\"font-weight: bold\"> <\/font>I didn&#8217;t want anybody to become   suspicious that I might be a dangerous, dirty old man. That&#8217;s sad, isn&#8217;t   it? It is to me<font style=\"font-weight: bold\">.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"font-weight: bold\">By the time I   reached the checkstand I felt like Santa Claus.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I had   smiled and chirped my way through a supermarket full of people who might mention to   their spouses or best friends, in passing, about the weird, strangely   happy guy they had met in Albertsons this morning.  It might be a   revelation to them. They, themselves, might become happier and more   outgoing in public.<\/p>\n<p>Or, not.<\/p>\n<p>More likely none of them gave   it a second thought once I was at a safe and non-communicative   distance.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I learned something vitally   important for myself:<\/p>\n<p><font style=\"font-weight: bold\">Being   happy makes me happy. <\/font><\/p>\n<p>What you do with it is up to you.<font style=\"font-weight: bold\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I awoke in an unusually good mood today.
