Today I noticed...I appreciate little words of affirmation.

I've started transitioning from one grocery service to another. So, today when I completed my grocery delivery order and selected the Place order button, I was surprised to get a message telling me that I had saved an hour. 

Now, I have known that ordering groceries online saves me time for several years. I can just click on an item to add it to my cart as I think of it and not have to wander the store browsing for different items. I also know that I much prefer sitting in the privacy of my own home and completing a grocery order rather than wandering those grocery aisles. 

Even though I know those things, to have the app provide affirmation of those facts by telling me that I saved an hour really brightened my day. 

I began to wonder what other ways affirmation might impact us.

I am going to make a point to seek out ways to provide affirmation to those I encounter. It started this morning. I completed the survey sent by the grocery delivery guy. Then, I added a little personal note in the space provided saying that we really appreciate the job he does and are grateful that he was a part of our day.

What other ways could we lift up somebody do something ordinary in our lives?
