Saying “Thank you” and “Please” when it’s called for.
Paying back borrowed money —fast.
Calling your mom or your MIL just to say hello.
Saying “bless you” when a stranger sneezes.
Passing along a book you love and treasure.
Sending a birthday card.
A firm handshake.
Finding unexpected cash in your jeans or when doing the laundry ( so much like saving tons on insurance premiums). Thanks to the help of online insurance marketing.
Handwritten thank-you letters.
Cell phones turned off at the movies.
Surprise notes tucked in your spouse’s lunch boxes and suitcases.
Giving sincere compliments.
A small token/gift for your host/hostess.
Fresh towels in every guest bathroom.
Wet napkins when serving barbecue.
Great sense of humor especially during bad situation.
Letting the man or the woman with just two items go ahead of you while at the store’s checkout line.
What a wonderful list. And each one of those meaningful things is so special and can totally turn someone’s day around. Just thinking about compliments and a good firm handshake, and especially being let ahead of someone at the checkout, makes me feel good. Thanks.
I like this list. I had a full cart of groceries today and all the lines were long so I offered to let the lady behind me with only 8 items go ahead of me but she wouldn’t. Guess she had no place to go in any rush. I tried to be nice. It took me 20 minutes to get through the line and checked out.
