Manner-isms

MANNERS

Where did they go? I would like to know please. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I send my gratitude to those of you that can assist me in my search for the lost art of manners.

Decency, kindness, respect, communication, honesty and civility are some of the parts that make up this once well used life enhancement tool. Opening doors. Saying “thank you”. Exchanging “good morning, afternoon, or evening”’s. Making eye contact when passing someone on the street. Speaking to people without resentment, anger, or frustration reverberating through your tone.

Turning off cellphones in the theatres, both movie and live performances. Letting someone else finish speaking before interjecting. Not speaking when someone else is. Listening when someone else is requesting your attention. Giving someone your undivided attention. Smiling and make eye contact when someone’s making a presentation. Reaching out with help to those in need.

My day would brighten just a little bit with each gracious act I see. I wish to see more please!
