Having observed Joe with other people，I something else also.Joe asked people how they were doing，and really seemed to listen to their .If someone were hurting，he had 7 for him and kind words，and offered to in any way he could.
It made me think...What if I tried to smile more？A(n) of sorts began when I went to the grocery store.I smiled as I went up and down the aisles...and people I didn’t even smiled back at me.Some even ！The little kid in the cart(购物车) who was giving his mother a time saw me smile and talking...and，you guessed it.He made a shy little attempt at a smile.The man in the handicapped(残疾的) cart a person to reach something...I could get that for him.The smile even transferred over to him，and he me.
As I drove home，I was smiling.I what I had just learned，and when someone passed me and gave me a(n) ，I smiled at him.He looked puzzled.
Now I know a smile is a small thing，but what if we were all to try to smile a few more times each day？I couldn’t believe how I felt.Nothing in my life had changed， maybe it had.For what I learned was that such a small thing could not only my spirits，but those around me as well.
