New York is busy.
New York is serious.
It has a pace like no other city I have visited.
There are things here to love and other things to dislike very strongly.
There are days that New York will make you cry.
Cry real tears of sadness and stress.
And on the flip side, there are days when New York is the best place you have ever been.
New York has the potential to make your smile turn into a laugh.
It has not been easy to always catch those smiling moments on film.
Here are a few pictures that will let you in on the New York smile.
The Tiffany's bowler hat guy.
Dogs that look like a real life gremlin.
Strollers that serve as baby limos.
Yes, I know, I'm not suppose to take pictures of other people's children.
It's weird.
But, this is funny when you see it coming down the street.
A cat waiting patiently by an apartment door.
A very happy kid running around with a dozen GoPro's on his head.
Seems like a normal guy having a conversation with someone.
But, wait.
He's not super normal because he is standing there with a plastic cup that's full of water on his head.
It's funny.
Just in case you don't know how far you've already walked down the block, there's a half thrown in.
Seeing the real life Scooby Doo.
Seeing a real life Hot Wheels parking garage.
It's fascinating.
Yoga in Bryant Park with over one thousand people.
A sign that speaks your language.
I have bad hair.
It's not funny, but thanks for the reminder.
Looking up and seeing a person's name who made you laugh.
Running into Juan Carlos from America's Got Talent and finding out that he's just a normal guy.
Seeing the clear bags on recycling day is very hilarious.
Just walk the other way.
Smiling faces looking back at you in the Asian hall at the Met.
The "mall" police vehicles at 42nd street.
It's humorous.
Serious, but humorous.
People who think they are being funny by putting a funny sticker on a trash can.
New York City is a beast and has the potential to make your smile disappear.
Where ever you find yourself, count yourself blessed to know what the power of free agency is and choose the smile.
And, lucky for us, if you never find the smile, tomorrow is a new day.
