I was at the post office early that morning, hoping to be in and out in a short while. Yet, I 41___ myself standing in a queue that went all the way into the hallway. I had never seen so many people there on a weekday. It seemed someone might have made an announcement, welcoming customers to carry as many 42 as they could and bring them in when I needed to have my own package 43 __. The queue moved very slowly. My patience ran out and I got 44__ longer it took, the angrier I became. When I got to the counter finally, I finished my 45__ quickly and briefly, and then walked past the queue that was now extending past the front door.

“Excuse me,” I said, trying not to be too pushy. Several people had to move 46__ to make room for me to get to the 47 .

I stepped out, complaining about the 48 conditions. Thinking I was going to be late for my dentist appointment, I headed into the parking lot．

A woman was coming across the lot in my 49 . She was walking with determination, and each step sounded very heavy. I 50 that she looked as if she could breathe fire. It stopped me in my tracks. I 51 myself and it wasn't pretty．Had I looked like that? Her body language said that she was having a 52 day. My anger melted away．I wished I could wrap her in a hug but I was a 53 . So I did what I could in a minute 54 she hurried past me---I smiled. In a second everything changed. She was astonished, then somewhat 55 . Then her face softened and her shoulders 56 . I saw her take a deep breath．Her pace slowed and she smiled back at me as we passed each other．

I continued to smile all the way to my 57 . Wow, it's amazing what a simple smile can do.

From then on, I became aware of people’s 58 and my own, the way we show our feelings. Now I use that 59 every day to let it 60 me that when facing the world, I can try a smile.
