Out of respect, remember to remove your hat. It is what we do, in our society anyway…this is the norm and shows respect.

We also:

• Tip the waiter/waitress.
• Hold the door open the door for others with us, behind us or close to being behind us…even if we don’t know them.
• Throw our trash in the bin and recycle (hey, it was Earth Day Monday, but we should remember this all the days, too.)
• Say “Thank you”, “Please”, and “You’re welcome” (vs. “no problem”…)
• Let others speak and finish their thoughts, even if we have to wait for them to complete a lengthy story; even if we forget what we were going to say.
• Listen to what people are saying, not interpreting what we want to hear – or what we think we read in an e-mail or a text – which is so, very subjective.
• Try to help others when we think or know we can help.
• Do. The. Right. Thing.

It’s what we do…and even if we are having a bad hair day, we remove our hat to show others that we care; to prove that we are part of their life, their family and their community.
