Things to Do

Yesterday I wrote a blog about common courtesy when we go out to eat at a restaurant. That brought me to today's blog and things that we all could do in regards to common courtesy. Here are some ideas

1) Hold doors open for people coming in and out of stores.
2) Drive with a little more courtesy(Sometimes I think when we get behind the wheel of a car we think we are auditioning for the Pole Position at the Indy 500.
3) Simple things like saying 1)Please 2)Thank you 3) You're welcome
4) Lifting the spirits of someone who looks frustrated at their job with a cheerful hello or goodbye or engaging in small talk.
5) Not parking in handicap spots when we are not supposed too. I only park in the spot when my parents are with me because my dad has a problem walking long distances. I would never park in a handicap spot otherwise.
6) When we see our neighbors outside say hello to them! (I am guilty of this myself I have some neighbors living by me that I have never met yet and I have been here for 3 years!)
7) Respect others opinions on matters even if we don't agree.

These are just some things that I thought of for common courtesy. While they are not the Beatitudes they are some ideas. I look forward to your comments about this. Have a blessed day.
