For Peace to happen it must begin with us in our backyard. With that thought here is your assignment for Peace.

You pick a day. On that day you will greet every person you meet or pass by with a voice greeting or a wave to the people who are plugged into their world.

Good Morning,  Good Day,  Hello.  You made want to add a smile or the person's name.

        Some of you may want to get bold and ask a person how they are doing, which may lead to a conversation. We all want to be recognized and acknowledged . You initiate a greeting. Getting a greeting in return or a smile will make you feel good. For the moments of a greeting between people the world will be peaceful and calm.

         Again the assignment for Peace is to pick a day where you greet every person  you meet.  Stranger, Friend, Enemy, Neighbor, All Co-Workers, Homeless.
         The wonderful thing about this assignment. There is no due date or expiration date. It may become a natural part of your daily life.
       
         We are asked " To Love Our Neighbor."  Shouldn't we first greet our Neighbor ?

 Peace and Respect for All People....
