Make Someone's Day
It’s been a mess in my neighborhood for over three months. But now, the long-awaited street replacement has finally been completed, and the grinding and pounding of heavy equipment at 7 a.m. has come to an end.
Yesterday, one of the workers came to pick up the flashing barricades and sandbags that had been stacked next to my yard since before Christmas. I thanked him and told him how much I appreciated their work and the new street.
He paused and asked me to repeat it. Then he said he was surprised; he usually only hears complaints, not compliments. He thanked me and said I’d made his day.
It was a quick lesson on how easy it is to make someone’s day. Just a simple “thank you” can do it.

It's grace at work. Whenever you're inspired to compliment someone else, there's a little angel on your shoulder trying to uplift someone else. When someone receives a compliment, you're adding to the goodness in the world which always counters the darkness. And since you took time to share this moment, I can tell it brightened your day, too. Thank you for reminding us how simple it is to uplift others. 💛
