Basic Manners

Basic Manners are just that....basic. There seems to be a wave in the U.S. about getting back to basics. Not spending a lot of money on foolish items we don't need. Manners are basic ways of interacting with people and they don't cost a thing! Besides being free, they actually make you feel good and others feel good about you too, so they are priceless.

Here are some basic manners: You know all of them, you've just forgotten to use them. Some of them are as simple as a word.

Smile...who can resist a sincere smile. Whomever you smile at will smile back and before you know it, everyone will be smiling.
Hello....remember this? Try greeting everyone you come incontact with by saying hello.
Excuse me...this is a great one. It comes in ever so handy in many ways.
Open the door for someone.
Hold the door open for someone.

Practice at least one of these everyday and before you know it...everyone around you, including yourself will feel happier. I guarentee it.
