It Only Takes One Person

When we moved to MA, we came from a small town in CT, and when you did your daily walk everyone would wave at you and you would wave back, and it's like that in most of the towns in CT. But when we moved up to MA, no one wave, even when you waved at them! So mom and I decdied we're going to change MA, and make them a waving state! Yesterday I went on my daily walk, and I decided to go a little farther than usual, just to see who would wave. Everyone waved! We have changed MA from a "Cowboy-nod State" to a "Waving State", as I told mom. People have actually waved at me first! Which, I think is great :) This is proof that it does only take one person. If we all became that one person, and all waved, smiled, asked how your day was and listened, how diferent would the world be? I have noticed that people don't go out of their way to make some feel at home, because it "embarrassing", but what if we over come that embarrassment and just did it? Why should saying "hi, how are you?" be an embarrassment? If we all went out of our way, just you who are currently reading this post. We could change the world for the better!

We don't wave where I live so much as talk. Usually when you see people you just greet them "hi, how are you? " type thing as you walk by haha. Or if they are on the other side of the street just a shouted "good morning".

I was in England on vacation a while back though and I went for a walk, and passed someone and said "hi" and she looked ready to run away. She didn't answer, just stared at us with a "I don't know you why are you talking to me? Are you dangerous?" type of expression. We soon found out that everyone in the town did that lol.
