JUST SAYING 'HELLO' CAN FEEL REALLY GOOD

How many times have we walked by someone

on the street or in a hallway

and instead of saying hello

we pretend we don't see them?

The truth is that all of us,

deep down inside,

have a need to be seen,

acknowledged and appreciated.

We are on a spiritual journey

that can at times be very lonely.

And one of the simplest

and most effective ways

to help our fellow traveler

is to smile and say hello.
