projects are due today, and kids are frantic in an attempt to finish them. my name is whispered, shouted, and demanded from all corners of the room. i do my best to get to all of them as quickly as i can.
some are just more patient than others.
i am just more patient with some.
it has been a stressful, busy day.
but five words, said with such sincerity, brought about a calmness and changed my whole attitude:
"thank you for helping me."
do we thank the people we should?
or if we thank them, do they know what we are thankful for?
"thank you", though a wonderful phase, is not always enough. it doesn't always convey the real message. "thank yous" can sometimes be as aimless and vacant as, "oh, sorry."
i don't mean to take away the sincerity of a genuine "thanks," but, when you really mean it, take the time to tell that someone what, exactly, you are thankful for.
