John makes a good point.
But we could make such a positive difference if we practiced the basics on everyone we come into contact with.
Good morning
Have a nice day
So nice to see you again
Please
Thank you
Let me give you a hand with that
Can I give you a lift somewhere
You did a great job
I’m so proud of you
I love you
I really admire you
I’m so glad we’re friends
S M I L E when you say them!
This list could go on and on. Such plain, simple words, but they could change the outcome of someone’s day dramatically. I need to practice this more myself.

Oh yes please, that would be delightful…gimme, gimme, gimme!…Um…was that for Pam or me? 😂 🤣
Ok, you moved me. It changed my day with just the one word…’c.h.o.c.o.l.a.t.e’ lol 😂 🤣

Jeez, calm down Mark. We can split the bar three ways. It’s one of those ginormous chocolate bars that could feed a small village for a week! There’s plenty for all of us. 😂😂
You are one wild and crazy guy my friend! 🤗🤗🤗

These are phrases that were drilled into me as a child. I was expected to use them on a regular basis. And yes I would love to share your chocolate!

It is difficult to share long distance but I think it’s the thought that counts.
