Do you engage with others or keep to yourself in waiting rooms? Ever talk to someone with whom you had lots in common? Fate/serendipity?

I always engage, but not intrusively.....depends on the other people around you.......I think no one should ever waste an opportunity to communicate with others, even if it's just a 'hello' and of course, ALWAYS WITH A SMILE.

a saying I love;

SMILE AT OTHERS.....YOURS MAY BE THE ONLY SMILE THEY SEE THAT DAY!!!!

another thing I believe is not act as if they are 'strangers'..of course they are, but they're still human beings!!

smile and say 'hello' or 'good morning' or whatever's appropriate.......you may not get a nice response.....so what? 
THAT'S THEIR PROBLEM.

you extended yourself with no guarantee of anything....

but you DID make an effort.

we're all in this thing together, after all, right?

:-D
