@kevinakear Thank you for starting this discussion. I've been following the comments ever since your original post. Every post here inspires me. As @gingerw wrote I keep my voice light and make eye contact with everyone I meet even when I'm at my lowest. I wear a mask everywhere outside my home and since no one can see my smile I make sure to look at the other person. I don't know what anyone else is going through and I don't want to add to their load with a yucky attitude. It makes me feel good to connect in that way with others.

@naturegirl You reminded me to add this idea. Even though I need to wear a mask outside of the house, all the time, even after the end of this pandemic, I strive to make sure any emotion of gratitude, and smile, is transmitted all the way to my eyes. Maybe you've heard the old saying "his smile doesn't go all the way to his eyes"? There is much to be said for that! And often, when I am feeling poorly myself, striving to be pleasant to others usually turns around and makes me feel a bit better, too!
