From the Writer: Maybe just smile I have come across many people. I have seen some that no matter where I see them they are always smiling, and then there are some I have encountered that are always walking around with a frown on their face.  I have many days, I just didn't feel like smiling, because I was having a bad day or someone made me upset. When I worked in retail I would smile so much sometimes, until my jaws would hurt. It only took one customer to come through and make me lose that friendly smile with their bad attitude.

I remember I was planning to do  photos for my blog later that week, so I went to a  local boutique that I found on Facebook.  I decided to check them out. When I went in, there they had several customers besides me that day, but when I went in  the workers began to follow my every move.
