A Plethora of P’s / #38: Polite
proactively punctuating life with the plausible, powerful possibilities of positive thought presented through a plethora of “P’s”.

Life is not so short but that there is always time for courtesy. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are few words that take the friction out of life so easily as a warmly spoken please or thank you. The simplest of gestures can create a ripple of kindness ~ a cheerful greeting, holding a door, paying attention, lending a hand ~ they’re contagious, one polite deed leading to another, like flowering vines spreading out, taking root, weaving a sweetness into life.
How easy to affect the quality of a day! Acts of politeness take the bitter out, and soothe this challenging, sometimes beastly, business of being human.
