Our fast paced world has impacted our social graces (not in a good way) and we live in a world of consumerism so we take a lot for granted! We should always say thank you when someone does something for us (big or small). It we start forgetting common courtesy, life becomes unpleasant for us. A simple verbal thank you is often enough but sometimes a different thank you is more appropriate. Send a written note, flowers, phone call, simple gift or a gift of time. The people in your life will be acknowledged and feel they are important to you!
