Strangers May Cheer You Up, Study Says

A new study found that happiness is more contagious than previously thought. » Full Story on New York Times

My mornings start by warming up on the eliptical reading a book. I find it very peaceful to read and keep my mind off the exercise and focus on content of the book.

Strangers will ask about the book I am reading, try to get that when wearing an iPOD!!! We share more than just the book. I have found myself being very selective of the book I will have that day, from Kite Runner, Audacity of Hope, Prayers, or Renewable Energy.... My point is that sharing conversation with strangers makes my day start out well. These strangers become friends and want to discuss issues in a pleasant safe way....

I hope my efforts impact people just one stranger at a time...
