…about cordiality.

Just a simple wave and a smile will do.

“I’m not from the South, but I wish people around here would smile more like they do down there. It would help so many people.”

…about metropolises.

It's a big world out there. Prepare accordingly.

“City life is not for the faint of heart. You will get depressed. You will feel like a small fish in a large pond. But you will have an experience like no other.“

…about novelty.

 

Unless, of course, if it's the Roosevelt Hotel

“The next time you come up here, promise me you will not order a “Manhattan” in Manhattan?”

 

…about candidness.

This photo of Charlie Chaplin sums it up.

“Some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen and taken were completely in the moment; no need to pose all the time. Do pose, though, if these pictures are being sent to family.”

…about extras.

Could you even imagine adding butter to something like this? My grandfather can.

“I read your post on how to cook a steak. You didn’t tell them about the ‘butter sauce’, I see?”

…about serendipity.

Fate can come in small packages. Be mindful and grateful.

“Found a dollar while walking to the park last week. I still smile every so often about it.“
