Thank Your Favorite....

“Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.”
Ralph Marston
 
 
Do you have a favorite hair stylist?  Favorite Starbucks bartista?  Favorite waiter?  Favorite manicurist? Favorite salesperson?  Is there someone you ALWAYS ask for when you go out to eat or go to a store or go pamper yourself?
 
Do you say thank you with a 15% tip?  A quick "Thanks, see ya later"? 
 
Or do you ever go above and beyond to express your gratitude?  Maybe leave a generous tip or compliment your favorite person by telling their manager how much you appreciate them? 
 
Just as the above quote reads... “Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.”
 
My challenge for you this week - think of someone who helps you often, someone you purposely look for or ask for.  And instead of the usual quick thank you or small tip, do something a little more meaningful.  Something that will show this person that you truly do appreciate them!

I had a horrible headache all weekend and I thought maybe a massage might help me out!  So this morning, I called my salon and just by chance my favorite masseuse happened to have an opening right after work!  Just my luck :) 
 
I am sending her a thank you in the mail.  Yes, I did leave her a nice tip and yes I did say thank you after it was over, but I am going to go the extra mile and make sure she knows how much I appreciate her!
