September 12th is National Encouragement Day. I just find that to be fantastic. I think we often overlook how important it is to encourage others. And, it doesn't have to be a huge thing. A smile, a hug, a sentence written on a card and dropped in the mail (my personal favorite), or even a comment on someone's Facebook wall. That little bit of encouragement means so much to someone who is having a bad day, hurting or just feeling overlooked.
I am absolutely not a star at this. I often intend to do it and then it just slips my mind later. But, I resolve today to be better at it. I want to lift others up! I want them to know they are important. I will first start at home - but watch out world, here I come!
