Give A Little

Do something for somebody every day for which you don't get paid. - Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, musicologist, doctor

Have you noticed when someone does something nice or gives that extra attention to detail that wasn’t asked for, how big of an impact it has on how you feel? I went to lunch with my friends, today, and the waitress was very nice, making sure we had what we needed and kept a watchful eye from a distance to be sure all her customers were well cared for. She knew we were on our lunch break, and so when she saw we were finishing our meal, she had our checks ready and we didn’t have to stand around waiting for her. It was awesome and we were able to return to work at the right time. It’s like when someone holds the door open for you, or your husband washes your car without saying anything. It’s special. I really appreciate people who give me that consideration. In turn, isn’t it nice when we try to give that same consideration and appreciation to others? Even small opportunities to help others make a difference.
