Nice Matters…
I have a confession to make… two days a week I treat myself to Starbucks. While I feel guilty every time I hear that my Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte will cost me over five bucks, that guilt quickly dissipates after that first sip of my hot java. My Starbucks visit is usually a workday ritual and I go to the same Fredericksburg location, but I will deviate on haircut day and swing by the Starbucks in Ashland to pay them a visit. When I’m looking to decompress from a hectic week, I’ll pause and go inside to place my order versus waiting in line at the drive-thru. Recently when visiting both locations, I was in awe by reading what I would call their “Nice Matters” posts (see attached). These towers of post-it notes range from a simple “thank you” to their barista to “words of wisdom” to those who pause to read what others have expressed on a 3×3 sticky note.
*Never give up on your dreams *When things get dark…I hope you look for the stars! *Be strong with coffee *I love you more that you know *I love Starbys Baristas
*Be kind to yourself + others *Stay open-minded forever *I’m getting married tomorrow *Sorry Mommy *Cherish each day! *Jessica is AWESOME! *Be kind
With the elections behind us and the holidays before us, I pray that we each take time to pause, reflect and think of others… maybe even write on a sticky note or scrap piece of paper our thoughts and gratitude. Nice really does matter.
