Did you know January is National "Thank You" Month?  It was something I recently found out. I think it's fantastic that there is a whole month dedicated to being polite to other people! I know it's something that should be taken for granted, but you just can't anymore and that's sad. There are some pretty mean people in this world these days, but with months like this, maybe we can change those types of people...bring them over to the nice side for a change!  Often times we judge people too quickly. We don't know what their life is like and what kind of day they had. Give people a chance, and maybe a second one too!
Lets really think for a minute just what thanking someone is all about. We say 'Thank You' probably more times in a day than we realize (I hope!!). In the morning when the girl at the coffee shop gives you your coffee, you say 'Thank You', or if someone hold's the door for you on your way into work, you say 'Thank You'. It's something we should really mean because think about what the other person is doing for you. They are taking time out of their day to do something for YOU! Whether it be a second or a few minutes, they are considering you and that deserves a true, meaningful 'Thank You'!

Yesterday was my birthday and I was overwhelmed with the 'Happy Birthday' wishes and each time I got one, I made sure to thank that person. No one had to take the time to wish me anything, but they did and I very much appreciated it! It's the kindness of other's that really light up the day. It only takes a few nice words to erase all the bad things that are going on in your life. So when you start the day today or tomorrow, spread a little light along the way! :)

Think about your day....did someone do something nice for you today?   Tell me something you're thankful for today! :)
