Sometimes we are the someone. Sometimes the someone is, well, someone else!

Take time today to appreciate someone who does something you take for granted.  Unknown

Everyday there are things happening all around us that we don't really see.  We've gotten so used to seeing them take place that we no longer actually see them.  You know what I mean?  For example, a public restroom.  We are used to having paper towels and toilet paper in them.  We don't necessarily know where they come from, they are just there.  Ahem.  Someone put them there.  Right?  Oh yeah, now you might be remembering that nothing gets done in life without someone doing it - putting a little effort in.  When was the last time you showed some appreciation, some gratitude, to someone who does something for you that you don't think much about but use?  Sure it might be their job BUT appreciation is still a good thing to show.  Place yourself in their shoes.  In fact, I'm willing to bet you are in their shoes in a different way!  What do you do that others use and probably take for granted and a little appreciation might be nice?  See?  It's a circle.  We are the users and the providers in various ways.  Nothing gets done in this life without someone doing it.  Sometimes we are the someone, sometimes the someone is, well, someone else!  What can you do today to really see what takes place around you and show some appreciation to those who make it happen?

Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play.
