September is National Courtesy Month. The world in which we live can be dark and dreary, but courtesy and kindness does bring a pleasant, refreshing light to our lives whether we are the giver, the receiver or just an interested bystander.
When's the last time you saw:
-A teenager stand to give an elderly man her seat on a crowded bus?
-A motorist slow to allow another vehicle to merge onto the freeway smoothly and safely?
-A shopper with a week’s worth of groceries in his cart allowing someone with only a few items to go ahead of him in the check out line?
Such simple courtesies don’t necessarily change our lives, but they can certainly change the way we feel about them. Take the time to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It will prove itself in the end.
