    Question Practising the art of appreciating people

    Do you work at showing people in your lives how much you appreciate them? If someone has done something nice for you, do you let them know how much you appreciate what they've done?

    Is it hard for you to show appreciation?

    Yes! I always to. Actually at times I probably go over board with it. Laugh. I always remind people how much they mean to me, and when they do something nice I always find a way to thank them and let them know how much it meant to me. It's usually not very hard for me to show it to people, however, if I'm shocked and didn't expect something from someone (because of who they are) it throws me off alittle bit but I always find a way to let them know how grateful I am.

    Yes, I try my best. Sometimes struggle over how to with some people. Some people I know just don't like the mushy stuff, I squeeze it in anyway.

    I think it's important to cherish & be cherished. It really is food for the heart & soul.

    I try to always let people know how much I appreciate them. Even the ones that don't like mushy stuff still need to know how much they are appreciated!

    Well, I can't say that I get too mushy, but, I do try to let everyone know how much I appreciate them and/or something they've done.

    Working with my nursing home residents, I've seen the difference a sincere compliment or true affection can make to them. I try to remind myself to carry this through with everyone in my life.
