5 minutes of caring
Do the Wave
A wave and a smile make for a better world. We've already mentioned the idea of noticing people and what a difference that can make in their day. But, it's undoubtedly difficult to ask how someone's doing when we're all headed different directions in our car. Therefore, we would like to see a movement afoot whereby we all offer a simple wave when stopped at traffic lights or leisurely making our way to wherever it is we're going. Road rage is preventable, and it could very well be that a humble wave to a fellow motorist can allow us to all get along a bit better while in transit.

A book that talks about that is "How Full is Your Bucket". There is enough negativity in the world. Spread a little sunshine and you will spread peace one person at a time.

I smile at my fellow drivers, wave thanks, blink lights to let them in front of me, allow people waiting in long cues to get in front of me. I believe that kindness and caring can be taught and shared and people on the road really need it.
Thanks for your wonderful five minutes, you make my day.
Nice is cool.
Love,
