Sweeten up someone’s day.

 Take a dish of goodies to a friend or a neighbor. It doesn’t have to be big or fancy, it really is the thought that counts. 

Take Your Time to Help People

You never know when your actions will catch the attention and affect another person.

 

 

This is a real post from Facebook.

I took this picture at Culver's in Mundelein and I hope this employee doesn't mind that I post this, but I wanted to share an awesome story. The customer he is speaking with is a special needs man, and I watched and listened from my booth as he patiently and politely spent about 15 minutes answering all of his questions. He asked about the menu, prices, and even this employee even went as far as t...o retrieve a detailed menu so that he could explain some of the nutritional facts. This employee could not have been more polite and at no time appeared rushed, even though other customers were waiting in line. I wish I could have gotten his name, but he was not wearing a name tag. I did go on to the Culver's website and left my comments, so I hope he gets the recognition he definitely deserves. Sir, I tip my hat to you and pray more people follow your lead in life. Thank you. Feel free to share this, maybe it will make its way back to this employee!

Just 1 Little Thing turns into 2 and so on....

This is an experience I have Shamelessly stolen from a Facebook Friend, Chris

10 cents

Went to Kohls the other day, my purchase was $50.24. I gave the cashier 3 $20's and I was looking for the 24 cents - I hate change..... All I could come up with was 14 cents :( There were 3 teens in back of me - I would say around 18/19 and one goes - here is a dime and hands it too me. Yea I am not getting any change back except for the bills......
 

Turns into $10

Because I spent $50, I received $10 kohls cash. The cashier handed it too me and I turn around and handed it to the teen that gave me the dime and said thank you! The look on her face was priceless........

Say Something Positive

"Fantastic things happen - to the way we feel, to the way we make other people feel. All this simply by using positive words."    -Professor Leo F Buscaglia

Be a positive influence in a world of negativity.

THINK before you speak

If you think before you speak you may avoid misunderstandings and hurt feelings.  It's a little thing, but it is important.

T  is it true?
H  is it helpful?
I   is it inspiring?
N  is it necessary?
K  is it kind?

REMEMBER

REMEMBER

• The people who lost their lives to the terrorist  attack on the twin towers of the World Trade Center, an empty field in Pennsylvania and the Pentagon.

• The brave people, firefighters, policemen and civillians, that ran INTO the buildings to try to save others and lost their lives.

• The silence around airports and the empty skies in the days following the attacks.

• The horrible feeling of knowing that our country had been attacked and the fierce resolve that those who did this would not get away with it.

 

NEVER FORGET

Have You Done Your 1?

Have you done your 1Little Thing today?  Take the time to do something for someone else.  See how good it feels.

Say Thank You (2)

If someone wants to pick up the tab for lunch or do some other nice thing for you, just say Thank You.
They wouln't offer if they didn't want to do it and your "1 Little Thing" is to graciously accept the offering.

Water the Plants

Offer to water your neighbor's plants if they are going out of town.  It is relaxing for you and your neighbor  won't come home to dead plants.

Feed the Dog (or Cat)

If your neighbor has to go away for a few days, offer to feed and water his or her pet.  It doesn't take long  and it isn't dificult, but it will make your neighbor's trip much more relaxed knowing you are taking care of Rover or Fluffy.

Wish someone a Happy Independence Day.

Wish your friends a happy Independence Day! 

The United State of America is celebrating

235 years of Freedom

Pick Up a Dozen Eggs

Next time you have to go to the grocery store, ask a neighbor if there is anything you can pick up for them.  What a treat to NOT have to run out for a quart of milk or a loaf of bread! Who knows, they may return the favor the next time they go to the store.

Do a Chore

Once in a while, without fanfare, do a chore that is normally performed by someone else in your household.  Imagine their delight to have that little bit of extra time to do something else or sit and have a cup of coffee.

Say Happy Father's Day.

Tell all of your favorite dads

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

They don't have to be YOUR dad -

just A dad.
