Words of Appreciation

In this series of improving our people skills we've established the importance of saying words of appreciation.  Now here are a few real-life situations in which to use these life-giving words.

-Thank the chef for an especially great meal

-Thank a sales clerk for outstanding service and a “wow” experience.

-Thank a minister for an unusually enlightening sermon.

-Thank a police officer for doing “the daily grind” with consistency and professionalism.

-Thank your dry cleaning provider for consistently making you look good.

-Thank your postal delivery person for their consistent work.

-Thank your grocery checker for his/her friendly greeting.

-Thank your club leadership for providing expert leadership.

-Thank your best friend for always being there in friendship.

-Thank your kids for picking up their room.

-Thank your mechanic for his quality work and great skills.

-Thank a teacher for the invaluable information to which they led you.

I think you see the trend here.  There are volumes of individuals who are in need of our appreciation.  Don’t ever assume the words. Dare to say them. 

Make someone’s day in the process.
