Cheesy or Cherished?

So it's been challenging trying to teach The King about anything other than Thanksgiving besides trying to say the word itself. I think we may have our own version by Thursday though... I'm hopeful!

I will admit, lately I have less than patient some people at least. And I feel that I have been the recipient of the same "wrong doings". What is that saying.... you hurt the ones you love the most, because you know they will forgive you? It's so easy one day to say I will change or improve something and focus on it. But then having a whole lifestyle change is another.

But then it just hit me this morning, why not try being nice.... It's a lot harder to be nice 24/7 then it is to be judgmental, pushy, critical, real, etc. What about just giving out appreciation and compliments for free? What will people think? Well with Thanksgiving a few days away, I thought I would try it out for a few hours :) !

So this morning I got a work email from an associate we always expect immediate response and action from and I thought to myself, you know I should go ahead and thank her. So in the spirit of the holiday I did and her response was wonderful! Not a few minutes l later I received a similar email from another associate thanking ME for their business. OK, so yes it was mass produced, but who cares.

Wouldn't the world be a much nicer place if we threw out compliments and appreciation instead of insults and put me downs?
