Debbie Reynolds Thanksgiving Challenge - What Are You Thankful For - #3
#3 Nice People
How many times have you met someone that you really like? I'm sure many, and I am Thankful for those individuals who take the time to be nice to others.
It doesn't have to be some big deed that they have done. When someone takes the time to show another person kindness or compassion in various ways, it makes everyone's day better.
I was on line at a Department Store and the woman in front of me was so nice. She said she heard me on the phone talking to clients and overheard what time I had to meet them. She said she was retired and had all day to shop and insisted I go ahead of her. As I was leaving and thanking her, she wished me luck and said she hopes I sell the house. Kindness from strangers always makes your day a little better. It's as easy as just being polite, honest or friendly.
Larry noticed a woman who was not tall enough to reach the shelf in the frozen food section at the Grocery Store. He asked her if he could help her and reached up and handed her the package. She said nothing. No thank you, no smile, no eye contact. How hard would it have been for her just even give him a nod? He smiled to himself thinking it was okay and he would do it again if someone else needed some assistance.
Kindness can be contagious, and if someone doesn't know how to be nice...you be nice to someone else!
