A revisit of my resolution of a few years ago:
Take time to recognize those who go above and beyond, whether it's an ultra friendly grocery employee, a fireman, a local newspaper writer who wrote a great article...etc.
I try to make it be more than just my profuse thanks; a note or word to their manager/supervisor can do wonders for a person's job and self-worth.
I try to live my life this way, but sometimes in the hustle and bustle and the egocentricism, I don't...so this is my running yearly reminder to remember how much that recognition can mean to the person in the trenches.
