Look Me in the Eyes

The other day, I ran some errands for my mother (a frequent activity of mine). I was all over the place but my last stop was our local Wal Mart. (Which I like it for various reasons =] )

When I was checking out, the lady at the cash register asked the usual, "How are you doing today?" Normally I would never really look at the person as I respond. This time, however, I thought to try to look her in the eyes as I responded. So I did. She was looking directly into my eyes.

How often do we look people straight in the eyes? It is sort of a personal thing, but we can do it with anyone. I think it shows confidence, a little bit of trust, and a hint of...magic, I guess.

All I am trying to say is that I need to look people in the eyes more often. It is something great.
