Rural Hospitality

One of the things I like about living in smaller towns is that people seem to be friendlier. Over the last month I have paid more attention to this while driving. It is always pleasant when the people in the other car wave while we cross paths. The waving puts a smile on my face. We do not know each other but we make contact with just a friendly toss up.

The first time I can remember that waving put a smile on my face was the town I graduated in, which is much small than where I am now. If I were walking or driving vehicles of all sizes would wave a friendly hello. When I was walking those were especially nice to see. I imagine those felt more special as it gave me time to really think about how nice such a simple act is.

Until the next one, may you be friendly to those you cross.
