It was a drab Friday and I was in a black mood that day. My shoulders were hunched. I dragged with a shuffle. I avoided eye contact. My normal "life-of-the-party" spirit was dead.... and somehow that shrouded me with a queer impenetrable invisibility.
Wherever I went, people didn't take notice. The salesgirl failed to serve me. The waiter didn't pass the menu. And a dog nearly ran me over.
Odd. It was the first time I ever felt like a none-entity. Being invisible was no fun.
Around lunch time I entered Starbucks and grabbed a shot of mocha frapuccino.
ZAP!! WHAM!! BANG!
The caffein blasted my mood... and with it, my vital energy came flooding back. I reared higher. My gait widened. I made eye contact. And best of all, I began smiling.
The magic didn't stop there. With my personal energy cascading like Niagra Falls, I beheld an explosive effect on those around me. Strangers greeted me with wide grins. A happy police offer waved. Pretty women did second takes. And a dog ambled over to be petted.
What a difference one's mood does to those around us!
