I noticed when we are traveling that saying thank you to those who wait on us whether it be a service station or a little restaurant, brings a smile to many and a little look of surprise. Standing in line a one establishment, I watched people as they came and went, and "thank you" wasn't heard that often.
We have become a rushed society where often times those little words get forgotten in the course of runing to and fro. And, yet, when they are said, it brings such a look of appreciation in the recipients eyes. It seems so little to mean so much, but it does.
It reminds me of a saying by Stopard A. Brooke:
"There are few things which bless and soothe the life of others more, or do them more good, than saying thank you. It makes men feel that they are of some use in the world, and that is one of the finest impulses to a better life. It cheers many a wearied heart with pleasant hope and bids many a man who is sad in mood take courage."
Have a beautiful day,
Donna
