People's Feelings

Good Morning - it is so nice to see the rain go and the sun come out, even if just for a little while. The backyard doesnt look so much like a pond now.

I would like to speak a little on "people's feelings" and how we all need to think of people's feelings before saying things. Little things can irritate or hurt some people-whereas some people dont sweat the small stuff and it doesnt even phase them. Like for instance - a thank you card. Sara had a baby shower and she bought thank you cards the very next day and sent them out. People were amazed that she had done this so quickly, but she didnt want to hurt anyone's feelings. She wanted them all to know how thankful she was for the wonderful gifts she received. But then there are others who want things and you give them to them and you dont even get a thank you. You may need that someone to come over for certain reasons in order to get the thing they want but they cant be bothered, or they dont have a clue when they can get over. That puts whatever you were doing for them on hold, and you may have worked hard on doing it for them - but whatever the reasons, it hurts when you do something for someone and they cant even be bothered to come over so you can "finish it, or pick it up or just say thank you.
I wish we could all just take a moment to think that if someone does something nice for you, a little thank you goes a long way. If a person says Gee you look nice today, (and I am really guilty of this one - Say "thank you", dont beat around the bush and make excuses why they might think you look nice. Take the praise and enjoy it, hopefully they dont say it unless they mean it. This is not pointed at any one person, its pointed at all of us. Lets all try to think of people's feelings. Lets face it, we all have them, some may bury their feelings a little deeper than others but they are there...so lets all say Thanks once in a while.
