The Lent Experiment - Day 5

Day Five and the niceness is spreading!!

Your choices for today are:

1 - Make today a day that you really LISTEN to people when you have a conversation. Don’t just wait for your turn to speak, don’t butt in, don’t interrupt. Really make the effort to hear what others are saying to you. It may be harder than you realize.

2 - Write someone a post-it or a little note saying hi and something nice. How often do we sail by the people we live with and work with without catching up and checking in with them? Make the effort.

Rock on my Lenten Friends!

Your Girlfriend,
Michelle

  1. I love these two suggestions. How often are we so busy that we don't LISTEN to people and what they are saying?!?! Just sort of nod or half hear or try and do something while "talking" to the other person. This is a great goal of kindness.

    The post it note is sweet and simple! Thank you notes and hello notes are often appreciated more than people will ever know!
