Don't Hollar At Me....I am Stressed Too!

Gary has a valid point here.. everyone is stressed.. let us all work next week to do one thing each day ...  lets see if we can make an improvement in our fellow man's and lady's day.  One smile at a time. 

My hometown was where the College Professer challenged his class to do A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS, and it spread throughout the Nation, maybe next week .. its time to re-enact those Random Acts of Kindness.  What Say AR-ers?

Have you noticed how overworked and stressed out most people are nowadays? 

I look at people in the grocery stores, gas stations, fast food places....see how little I have in life!  They no timelook and act dazed and shocked.  The economy has created a huge concern for everyone.  The media has dwelled on the negative for so long that people cling to anything that happens that is good in their lives.

People keep a guard up with one eye over their shoulder to see when the next shoe is on the rungoing to drop!

I had a closing yesterday and the Title Company has reduced staff to the point of paralyzing the employees. 

Do you take the extra minute to acknowledge and appreciate their situation.  Better yet, do you hear the shock in their voice the surprised reaction that you even care when you say something nice?Help

I helped with some of the documents so the closing agent could get the HUD one done and the sale could close on time.  She was very concerned to even ask but knew she couldn't get everything done.

I put one of my staff on it and we supplied the last documentation she needed.

We closed without a hitch and she was so thankful for our help.

Say HelloPut a smile on someone Else's face....it is easy and could get you your next sale!  How bad would that be.  It is easy to lend a hand...say some nice words, open a door, step aside for an elderly couple.  Seems we are so busy we forget that everyone is just like us...looking for a smile in the sea of frowns and worried faces.

How do you put smiles on faces?

Every day, I try to do one nice thing for someone I don't know.  It's just part of my routine.  I'm glad you put the call out to others to do the same.  We all need some kindness (and respect) back in our lives.  Thanks, Gail.

This post serves as a very good reminder to all of us to stop for a second, smell the air around us and do something for someone else. We already have a tiny list of things we were plainng to do today to help out a few of our neighbors and after reading your post I'm going to make sure I get it done.

If someone all the way out in Texas is thinking along the same path as someone out in Pa, then there's got to be a little something going on. Thanks Gail, have an awesome weekend.
