One of my closest friends sent me a message because she saw this post on Facebook and knew I would enjoy it:
A nice old man paid for my drink at Starbucks today, simply because I talked to him; he said most people are too self involved and ignore him. Be nice to people :)
This made me so happy to read. People who know me and have seen me in public, know I will talk to ANYONE. I will talk to a nice older man or woman, I will talk to a young peer, I will talk to a homeless person, I will talk to a professional, I will talk to a child. I am notorious for making friends everywhere I go. I know and respect some people don't like to, but have an open mind, be receptive, and realize it might make someone else's day. If someone starts up a friendly conversation with you, be honored he or she wants to talk with you.
