When eating a fruit, think of the person who planted the tree. – Vietnamese saying

Are you grateful to the people that have made little things possible for you?  It’s easy to take people for granted.  This week be more aware of your surroundings–everything from your shirt, house, food, and car–and who has made them possible for you.  I know I don’t have the time, to make a shirt, keep the house clean without anyone else’s effort, eat the way I know I should or take care of the needs of my car without the help of others.  One way to let someone know that you truly appreciate their efforts is to give them a heartfelt compliment, very sincere thank you, send them a quick note, or return the kindness in your own way.  This week show gratitude, from the wait staff who serves you at a restaurant, to the check out person in the checkout line, to everyone who helps you live your life everyday.  You will be surprised to see the fantastic service and happiness you receive!
