The other day, while waiting in a line at a local grocery store, this little boy, quite casually, turned his face up to his Mother and said, “Thank You Mom,” in such a direct and sincere way. Several of the people on this same line saw this as well and we all smiled. Sometimes, our happiness can come from just witnessing the genuine but beautiful exchanges between two people. This emanates from the notion of “Catch Someone doing something Right!” It strengthens the relationship between the giver and the receiver, but also has an impact on the observer.
