Nice Things to Say to Someone

We get caught up in our busy, hurried lives and forget that a minute or two here or there really won't derail us that much and yet can truly make a difference in someone else's day. 

Here a few nice, meaningful things that you can say to anyone at the grocery store, coffee shop, movies, etc.

• Please, go ahead of me.
• I believe you were first.
• You're missing 25 cents? Here I have it.
• I'm in no rush, take you're time.
• Your parking meter had expired, so I put an extra 1/2 hour for you.
• Let me open the door, you've got your hands full
• You look like you're in a hurry, please go ahead of me.
• You have the nicest smile!
• Here, I have an extra umbrella.
• Can I carry some of your packages for you?  You look overloaded.
• Take my parking spot, I'm just leaving.
• I didn't use all of my tickets, would you like them?
• You have great customer service.
  

I'm sure you can come up with many of your own.  

Just remember the next time the new cashier is on duty and taking twice as long, that we've all been a in a new job where we need to train.  Be patient.....

And the next time an elderly gentleman is slowly pulling out his wallet and counting his change to pay his bill, be patient....  God-willing we will all be there one day as well.

The harried mother who looks like she's at her wits-end.  Be patient....  Maybe she has a sick child at home, maybe she's a single mother, maybe her husband just lost his job.  Or maybe she's just tired from the 24-7 job of parenting.

Be patient, be kind, say something nice to someone to ease their load.
