The Daily Two Cents: Tell Them Now!

     Happy Tuesday! And Happy Love Day To All!

First and foremost, many prayers go up for Whitney Houston, the family of Sheila Cooper, cousin KiKi and Tracy Cornell (Missing you today!) Today’s Daily Two Cents is fully dedicated to showing your appreciation to everyone while they are still with us. The only guarantee that HE gives us is the fact that we all shall die one day. That is the promise that we cannot escape! It is highly important to live the best we can, while striving to live in harmony with everyone around us- our loved ones and even those that we meet in passing. If you haven’t noticed, the world is truly a cruel place.

It can be disheartening to see someone crack jokes, criticize and judge someone once they’re dead. To those truly hurt by the loss of a loved one, it is very disrespectful! At the same time, saying great things about a person once they’re gone is always a nice thing, but why not tell them daily of their greatness? TELL THEM NOW! If you have love for someone, tell them now. If you miss someone, tell them now. If you truly care do something about it! Whether a person shows it or not, everyone is dealing with some type of battle. Words of encouragement will make anyone smile, just to know that they are appreciated!

Stop staying quiet and criticizing those that are down. Stop holding your admiration for someone inside. Let people know exactly how much they mean to you- while you have the chance! Make it a habit of trying to shake a person’s hand and offer more compliments. Making people feel the love goes a long way.
