Another beauty of the season of gratitude and thankfulness is that it reminds us that we , somehow , somewhere , and with intentions , can create opportunities to receive blessings from others every day .

to celebrate the “ Humanness ” within us ! Whether throughout the year or miraculously for just that extraordinary moment or situation when you needed that “ human favor or help ,” it draws the best in us to reflect the selfless deed bestowed upon us !
Another beauty of the season of gratitude and thankfulness is that it reminds us that we , somehow , somewhere , and with intentions , can create opportunities to receive blessings from others every day . For example , “ When was the last time you held a door open for a stranger who was several steps behind you ? This act of kindness clearly showed your true innate human intention rather than courtesy of convenience because that person was right behind you !” The point I am making is you will be surprised at how someone would react knowing that you went out of your way to contribute to their happiness and be a blessing in their life .
This situation happened to me last week at the post office . The weather was getting worse as it started to drizzle , and everyone was in a hurry to avoid the incoming storm and evening rush hour traffic . The natural me just took over and held the exit door for someone at least six steps behind me , carrying only a small express mail envelope . In return , I was showered with genuine eye contact , “ several thank you ’ s , and also a wonderfully blessed day wish ,” as well . I appreciate a thank you , but this extra expression of gratitude was the cherry on the icing for me ! It truly made my day !
