Shipslog

This is a Log as we travel to keep us in touch with the real world. We spent a lot of time in the real world now we love the space in the travel world. We live and love full time in our motor home. We tow a Honda CRV to scout around in. We have driven to Alaska and all the lower 48 states. We parked and took a side trip to Hawaii. After traveling in over 20 countries we are most proud of the 1900+ miles we hiked on the Appalachian Trail. Our plans are to travel as long as our health allows.

That smile, a smile, just a smile

Today’s Car…

There days you have no idea which way you are going!

For Today:

I often compliment a cashier or clerk if they have a beaming smile.

Today Sherry let me go shopping alone. I did, I actually used the self check out. As I was leaving the store I happened to see a young lady, in her 20s with her mom or grandmom. She was assisting in another check out line. She had a smile for her mom or grandma that even made me feel good, and it wasn’t even directed at me.

It gave me a needed lift. Thank’s Lord! Yes, You knew I needed that!

Okay, I'm smiling at y'all through my monitor. And mentally playing Nat King Cole ("Smile") in my head. Thanks for the prompt!; June 23, 2023 at 2:55 PM

Susie said...: Jack, Yesterday in the store, I saw a true beauty. A young tall thin blond girl about 20. I asked her if I could tell her something. She said yes. I told her she was absolutely beautiful, so tall n thin. She said "Oh thank you, I am going on a date and I wanted to look pretty." I said, "well your fellow is going to be proud to have you on his arm. I think I made her day. I am old enough young people let me be nice. LOL. I like to make people smile.
