A Little Dose of Gratitude

Too often, I let myself get upset over the rude, mean spirited people I encounter. I let myself become irritated by their behavior and in return, I sometimes let my behavior become just as unacceptable. Lately, I've been making sure that I focus more on all of the kind people that cross my path.

Today I encountered some really sweet people and in return my attitude met theirs. So, to the cop that was guarding the Bank of America who smiled as I walked up and opened the door for me, THANK YOU! To the woman who quickly and politely helped me at Bank of America, THANK YOU! To the two friendly women who talked with me about the weather outside at the fitting room at Walmart, THANK YOU! THANK YOU to the cashier who rang me out at Walmart and made me laugh! And THANK YOU to the sweet man who was deaf but captured my attention just to wave hello to me as I was leaving the store!!

When I look back and think of all these people who made a positive impact on me and my day, I cannot help but to be extremely grateful. I hope that I made just as much of an impact on them and their day!
