I know you’ve probably heard already. I think everyone has. Well, it’s true ~ I was grounded this week. I know, I know ~ I’m a smart girl ~ I should know better. But I just had to know if I was nominated Prom Queen this year. Wanna know how it all started? You see, we have a rule that at dinnertime, there is no television, no radio, no cell phones and definitely no texting. Dinnertime is family time ~ it’s when we talk about our day, what’s on our minds and connect as a family. I not only get that, I actually enjoy it. I do have a lot to say. But this time it just seemed way too important not to bring my cell phone to the table. I wasn’t going to text ~ I was just going to receive a text. Ole Eagle Eyes caught me looking down one too many times and … well, the rest is history. My cell phone was taken away, I was grounded for a week and … yes … more … I had to write about common courtesies. Actually, writing about common courtesies was the easiest part. It’s something that is just, well, common in our house. We have this posted on our refrigerator: Life is short, but there is always time enough for courtesy. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson We were taught to always appreciate each other, that no one is better than anyone else and the way we wanted to be treated is how we are to treat others. That makes sense. A really long time ago (I think the late 1950s) an author named Emily Post started writing about proper etiquette and manners. She was the go to person. Here’s how common courtesies are described on her website: Common courtesies are the little gestures that we perform out of respect for others. They can be as simple as holding open a door or letting someone go ahead in a long line, to something as grand as sharing a homemade meal. Most importantly, they are characterized by a specific awareness of our surroundings and how our behaviors may affect those around us. ~ Emily Post When I was really little, I was taught how to use the words “please” and “thank you.” These words are very important. At first, I wasn’t sure why, but as I got older, I realized that by saying them, I’m showing respect and appreciation. I know I want to be respected and appreciated, so showing respect and appreciation to others just makes the world a better place. If you light a lamp for someone else, it will also brighten your path. ~ Buddha Here’s what I know about common courtesies: - Be respectful; - Appreciate those around you; - Do something without being asked; - Say “please” and “thank you”; - Don’t forget to also say “you’re welcome”; - Hold the door for the person behind you; and - Don’t text when you are with someone. Sometimes, being kind takes practice. We have to practice other things like the piano or gymnastics. Well, we have to practice common courtesies as well. And, sometimes, we need reminders ~ like getting grounded ~ that respect for the ones you are with is very important. Please be kind so we can make this world a better place! Thank you. Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart. ~ Henry Clay

Znam da ste vjerojatno čuli već. Mislim da svatko ima. Pa, to je istina ja ~ osnovana ovaj tjedan. Znam, znam ~~~HEAD=dobj sam pametnu djevojku ~ Ja bi trebao znati bolje. Ali sam morao znati da sam bio nominiran Prom Queen ove godine. Želite li znati kako je sve počelo? Vidite, imamo pravilo da u vrijeme večere, nema televizije, nema radio, nema mobitela, a definitivno ne texting. Večere je obitelj ~ vrijeme je kada govorimo o našem danu, što je na našim umovima i spojiti kao obitelj. I ne samo da se, zapravo sam uživati u njoj. Imam puno toga za reći. Ali ovaj put to samo činilo način previše važno da ne bi moj mobitel na stol. Nisam bio idući u tekstu ~ Upravo sam bio idući u dobiti tekst. OLE Eagle Eyes uhvatio me gleda dolje jedan previše puta ... i dobro, ostalo je povijest. Moj mobitel je oduzet, bio sam temelji za tjedan dana ... i da ... više ... morao sam pisati o zajedničkim uljudnosti. Zapravo, pisanje o zajedničkim uljudnosti bio najlakši dio. To je nešto što je samo, dobro, zajednički u našoj kući. Mi smo to objavili na našem hladnjaku: Život je kratak, ali tu je uvijek dovoljno vremena za ljubaznost. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Mi smo bili naučeni da uvijek cijeniti jedni druge, da nitko nije bolje nego itko drugi i način na koji smo željeli biti tretirani kako smo prema drugima. To ima smisla. Stvarno davno (mislim kasnih 1950-ih) autora po imenu Emily Post počeo pisati o prikladne etikete i manira. Ona je bila otići do osobe. Evo kako obične ljubaznosti opisani su na svojoj internetskoj stranici: Zajednički uljudnosti su male geste koje obavljaju iz poštovanja prema drugima. Oni mogu biti kao jednostavan kao drži otvorena vrata ili ste netko ići naprijed u dugom nizu, nešto kao Grand kao dijeljenje domaći obrok. Ono što je najvažnije, oni se odlikuju određenom svijesti naših okolici i kako naše ponašanje može utjecati na one oko nas. ~ Emily Post Kad sam bio jako mali, bio sam učio kako koristiti riječi "molim" i "hvala". Ove riječi su vrlo važna. Isprva nisam bio siguran zašto, ali kao što sam dobio stariji, shvatio sam da ih govoreći, ja sam pokazujući poštovanje i uvažavanje. Znam da želim da se poštuje i cijeni, tako pokazuje poštovanje i uvažavanje drugima samo čini svijet boljim mjestom. Ako ste zapali svjetiljku za nekog drugog, također će uljepšati vaš put. ~ Buddha Evo što ja znam o zajedničkim uljudnosti: - Biti uljudan; - Cijeniti one oko vas; - Učinite nešto bez pitao; - Reći "molim" i "hvala"; - Ne zaboravite također kažu "vi ste dobrodošli"; - Držite vrata za osobu iza vas, a - Ne teksta kada ste s nekim. Ponekad, kao vrsta ima praksu. Moramo vježbati i druge stvari kao što je klavir ili gimnastiku. Pa, imamo prakticirati zajedničke uljudnosti, kao dobro. I, ponekad, trebamo ~ podsjetnike kao što je uzimajući temelji ~ da je poštovanje za one koje su s je vrlo važno. Molimo budite dobri, tako da možemo učiniti ovaj svijet boljim mjestom za život! Hvala Vam. Uljudnosti malog i trivijalne naravi su one koje štrajka najdublje u zahvalnosti i poštovanja srca. ~ Henry Clay
