I think we all have a great appreciation and respect for people who are loyal. As we get to the end of another year, it’s a good time to look back at all the people who have been loyal to us this past year and put them on our “Loyalty” list. There are many ways to get on this list. Of course, family and friends who are always there when you need them to lend a helping hand or to just listen should go on the list. But maybe, we should include our postal delivery person who consistently delivers our mail. Or, how about the neighbor who offers to watch our house for deliveries when we are away. These people are all important to us and make our lives better. They, too, should be on the list. Now that we have our list, it’s a good time to let each of them know how much they are appreciated.
It’s, also, a good time to take a hard look at what we have or have not done for others. Could we have done more? My guess is that we could have. So, now let’s focus on the future. How can we do more and be more loyal to others? It’s a choice as to how much we decide to extend ourselves. Can we make a positive difference? Yes, we can. Let not wait for the world to change. Let’s change it one good deed at a time. Then watch your good thoughts and actions inspire others. Do what you can to be on others “Loyalty” list this time next year.
