Thursday Thoughts

I really think people should go out of their way to do something nice for someone else on a regular basis.... without them asking!

Think about it... REALLY think about it. Has anyone ever surprised you with a cup of coffee, just when you thought you were going to lose it from lack of caffeine? Or a Sonic drink, perhaps? What about a lunch delivery? An unexpected movie rental? Trinket of jewelry? Candle? Perfume? Spare camera battery? (OK, clearly that last one is only appealing to a few strange people)

Do you do this? I think this goes back to a post I did several weeks ago, where I mentioned that one of my love languages was 'gifts'... what I tried to explain was that it wasn't the gift at all, but rather the thought that someone, somewhere was thinking about you and, not only thinking about you in passing, but took time from their day to do something to make you smile... It is better to give than to receive as we've all heard and while it is really awesome to give, being on the receiving end of an amazing gesture of thoughtfulness can effect someone in ways you can't even imagine. So, off with you all...

Go send your grandmother some of her favorite candy or a framed picture of your kids, run a grilled chicken Caesar to someone who's having a rough day at work, stick an extra dessert in your child's lunch box, deliver a Route 44 vanilla cream Diet Dr.Pepper to your favorite teacher.... go touch a life. It may just make your day, but it may do a whole lot more to the person on the other end... :)
