Don’t you just love the feeling of receiving an unexpected gift, finding a thoughtfully written note in your mailbox, or when someone appreciates something about you that you didn’t realize they even noticed?
Every day, we have a chance to bring life and joy to others. This doesn’t mean we have to do anything complicated—it’s about being thoughtful. Just the other day when at Mac's to buy lotto tickets the guy in front of me had been buying everyone slurpees! Very nice as it was a warm day. Here are a few simple ways you can brighten up the day of those around you.
Make a genuine compliment on something your friend does well either in person or on Facebook.
When you stop at the convenience store or in line at Walmart, smile at the cashier and ask how he or she is doing (by name, if they have a nametag). When someone’s tired and has had a long shift, a lit bit of friendliness could really cheer them up!
Bust out your favorite cardstock and DSP along with some stationary and make a card for a friend letting her know what you love about her. Then send it via snail mail instead of just handing it to her (because you know it’s way more fun to get something in the mail!).
Buy your friend a latte, or a cookie - these always make me happy!
If you are the same, leave a comment with your blog or fb page and I will be sure to pop by. I would love to hear about the creative ways that you encourage people around you! Who knows your ideas just might inspire somebody else to take action!
Hugs, Karen
