As we begin a new year, each of us should "resolve" to make a difference. There are simple gifts we can give to our families, schools, workplace and community that can make a difference.
We can openly recognize the good we see in others; we can compliment our children, spouses, co-workers, servers, etc., when they do what is expected or go beyond to assist. In addition, we can write notes to them and to others that recognize these special occurrences. This takes little time but creates a connection and goodwill.
We can recognize when others are in pain and reach out to them, simply acknowledging them; making a connection, expressing care; offering to listen. Again, taking little time yet establishing relationships.
If each person reading this makes positive connections in "their world," our world changes for the better. Begin today.
