Throughout my life I do my best to express good manners. I mind my “Ps and Qs” when out in public or talking with people. It’s a great quality to have in my opinion. However, manners often get overlooked when family or close friends are involved.

Over the past week I have been consciously acknowledging the kindness of family. Whether it’s doing regular chores or going beyond to help out- I take a moment and tell them how much I appreciate what they’ve done. My recognition of their behavior is usually just shrugged off.

But that’s okay. Showing how I love and care for them today makes for better memories of our past tomorrow.
