Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today!

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.” Frederick Keonig

Do you ever think about the difference you make for someone else, simply by being present, attentive and kind? As you go about your day, stop for a moment to acknowledge whomever you meet. Your smile or gentle words could be just what they need to make their day.

At the grocery checkout this evening, the cashier smiled and asked me how I was doing? I smiled back.

After ringing up my sale she looked at the credit card receipt and thanked me personally by mentioning my name. “Have a wonderful evening,” she said as I loaded my cart. “The same to you,” I responded. “Thank you for being such a happy and pleasant person to be around.”

“Why not” she said, “I might as well enjoy whatever I’m doing.” I agreed and began to move my cart away for the next customer. She welcomed them in the same manner, and I watched as she did the same for every customer after that.

I wonder why so many of us have lost the human touch in what we do. It’s so easy to make someone else feel happy just by being kind and attentive. Let’s put our thoughts aside and really pay attention to those we come in contact with. Might as well enjoy the interaction!
