Now we all are on a budget but just small gestures really doesn't put a price on how you feel. Giving back means doing something that isn't expected. At the stores when they ask will you donate to a cause I have been saying yes. I have been complimenting people more and showing my appreciation even during some frustrationing situations.
We are always too rushed to even say thank you that I have been making a point to show my appreciation. My dog was booked next week for surgery and after speaking with a nurse and showing her my appreciation to her flexibility she was able to get my dog in today.
At my daughters gym class I gave the manager and teacher a small GC and said I appreciate you adding classes to fit my schedule. They were so happy at my gesture that they offered for us to stay and try the other classes for free.
I have been told numerous times that Fairfield County is a hard place to meet nice people and live in. So why don't we make an effort to change that.
Going out of your way to be calm and appreciative brings goodness back to you. I am not doing this to get. I am doing this to feel good about myself. Try telling someone I really appreciate it and listen how their tone changes.
The vet called me numerous times to keep me posted. My initial call they were rude. Once my tone changed so did theirs.
It takes five seconds to be a better person.
Pass a smile and get a smile!
