As I've been having a few days where I haven't
quite felt the best, I have been more sensitive to people’s behaviour, words
and feelings. Almost like my heightened feelings have made me more aware of
others. The teacher I work alongside within the other Year 4 class is going
through a stressful time with workload so I have been trying hard to cheer her
up and help her regardless of the way I was feeling. I like to make people feel
happy and bright.
While I was away, Miss Aussie was having a down day
unbeknownst to me. I kinda sensed she was a little homesick but hadn't realised
the extent. Knowing this I tried hard to make her smile and be a positive
influence. Sometimes I find all you need to do is make someone smile and you
see them visibly lift. From saying something nice and kind, can make all the
difference. You can really help someone more than you think. I informed Miss GG
today that I may be too unwell to join her birthday night out on Saturday and
she replied with:
" Aw, I hope you can come. You're the only one I care about being there."
These two sentences made me smile and
feel good about myself. Two little sentences was all it took to make my day.
In such a busy world, we sometimes
forget how easy it is to make another person smile with a simple sentence.
People CAN help people by just being nice and giving a compliment and a
meaningful compliment! On the topic of helping people I would like to introduce
you to a site from my good friend TexaGermaNadian. It's based on the premise of
nobody need wait to make someone’s day and called, 'Nobody Need Wait'. She is wanting to collect a mix of
stories about how we, as people, make can make each others day. Pop on over and
have a look around, submit a story even and be sure to follow.
I am going to leave you with a pretty great song which I am loving at
the moment. It is a cover of a Cherry Ghost song called 'People Help The
People'. Hope you like it.
Has someone helped you lately and made you smile? How?
