Weekly Resolution 12/21/09
HOLD THE DOOR
I don't know if it is the holiday season or if it was the incredible snow storm, but everywhere I went this weekend people were holding doors for each other.
You know, when you are trying to rush into a store and the person in front of you pauses for a few extra seconds to hold the door for you to make it easier for you to come in.
It's a simple thing, really. But it means so much. Taking a pause in your own pursuits to help a fellow person. Honestly, it was so pervasive that I really did notice it and it totally made my day. Made me feel more connected to the world and made me feel like I was surrounded by nice people. People who care.
Such a simple thing. So my resolution is to be a bit more conscious about holding the door for people. Maybe it'll make their day just a little bit nicer.
What's your experience? Jim.
