There are some people who, by their very nature, are excellent at putting others at ease. These are the individuals who enjoy conversing with everyone, even if it means spending an hour at the grocery store getting a gallon of milk because there were so many people to talk with. These people always remember whose grandfather built that house and whose grandmother made those special tortiere pies! They make everyone feel important, and yet expect nothing in return. It is often difficult to give these individuals thanks or gifts for their support because they refuse to accept it. I have some very close friends who fall into this category. They are well known and respected in the community for their selfless actions. Today I was able to leave an item in their house without their knowledge. It is a simple gift, but one which I think will be appreciated. Expressing gratitude to those who are always reaching out to others is significant.
Janet,
ReplyDeleteYou are right. There are special people among us who do make us all feel at ease with their kind nature. I always feel good after even a short chat with them. They are great listeners who support us no matter what. Showing gratitude toward these people is very important. It is my mission for today. Thanks for the reminder.
