Are You Feeling Unappreciated?

Courtesy of the Make-a-Note ezine

It is likely that all of us have felt unappreciated at many times in our lives. We do something special or take on a big task, and often it seems that no one notices. But how often have we neglected to let someone know how much WE appreciate THEM?

We can't make others show appreciation for what we do, but we can show appreciation for others. As one of your New Year's resolutions, why not pick out one person every month to show your appreciation to? Think of how we feel inside when someone shows appreciation for us. Wouldn't it be wonderful to give someone else that gift?

So the first of every month, pick a person and either tell them, call them, give them a card or small gift, and let them know they are appreciated. You will brighten someone else's day, and you may enjoy it so much, you may decide to do it weekly! Need help with who to pick? Here are some ideas: teachers, waitresses, neighbors, people at your house of worship, co-workers, that lady that always has a smile and a wave, the person who fixes their yard so nice that it makes you enjoy passing by, bus drivers, the cop on the corner, the clerk/salesman, the person at the coffee shop, and so many more. You may find that it truly is better to give than to receive.

 

POST IT...on your calendar, the first of each month.
