Seriously, I do this all the time!! (Maybe quietly in public, but definitely loudly in my car!)
Do you?
I was brought up to have manners, our school motto was ‘The grace of God is in Courtesy”.
Politeness.
It’s not a tough thing. It stretched across all creeds, colours and religions. No one is above saying Thank you.
Yet everyday, I see all sorts of people who seem to omit that little phrase, or word, from their conversations, or short exchanges.
The kids I work with, we constantly repeat it to them, as they are given things, so they understand when to say it. And in other situations.
My children have been taught, and Lil Man is very good, Lil Princess needs reminding,especially when she is in her pre-pre-teen strop mode, but she does too.
But they do laugh at none in the car if I exaggeratedly say “Thank you!” to a person I have just given way to, who hasn’t acknowledged, by hand, or a headlight flash, to say thanks. In fact they look out too, and tell me when thanks have not been given!
Walking along a road, or in the shops, if someone has moved for me, or assisted me, I will always give a word of thanks, and I will mutter some under my breath if someone who I have helped ‘forgets’ to say their own….
Thank you, thank you very much, thanks, or even a simple Ta! It’s not hard, is it?
Today, make sure you remember to say thank you, at least once, where you might not even think to say it normally. And if you are the possessor of children, show them the right examples, encourage them to say it too!
That is my little request for you today!
Have a wonderful Friday peeps!
