Be Considerate and Thoughtful

It is fatally easy to take people for granted. This applies specially to those close to us. For example, we can forget to notice what they do for us, or not bother to be courteous by saying and doing things we would not dream of saying and doing to outsiders. Lack of appreciation is very hurtful. It is also something we can regret in later years.

Show people, inside and outside your home, that you notice what they do and appreciate it. Be courteous, like not forgetting to say “please” and “thank you”. Show your affection. Don’t hide it as though you are ashamed of it or think that it should be rationed.

Remember birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions, and be as generous as you can afford to be. Visit them when they are sick, give them all the support that they need. 

Like flowers, love, affection, and friendship have to be nourished by giving as well as taking. Otherwise they wither away.
