Feels Good to Feel Good


December is a more than just a special month filled with gift giving holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa.  It's a magical month because during these holidays the art of gift giving is used as a way to show your appreciation for another.  Although we tend to mainly focus on family and friends as our main recipient's, the gift giving doesn't have to stop there and even better is doesn't have to be materialistic or cost you a penny.  With that being said I am proud to announce the 2nd annual Social Impoliteness Awareness Month.  We have declared the month of December to be recognized as the month for raising awareness to use more social politeness in our everyday lives.  (Remember its the little things that go a long way.)  
You may be asking yourself, "Damn Say Word, how can I be more socially polite?  It's easy, you don't have to go over the top, just stick to the basics.  Please, thank you, and your welcome are always a solid go to. Another simple gesture could be holding the door for someone, paying a compliment to a complete stranger, or telling a corny joke to bring a smile to a sad face.  Above all just be courteous and kind, all your efforts won't be rewarded but don't sweat it, keep on sprinkling showers of goodness and positivity.
If you catch yourself getting wrapped up in the feel good spirit and want to do more there are other simple things you can do as well.  Such as stop lying to yourself and get rid of some of them old ass clothes that you know you ain't going wear and donate them to a clothing drop box or the next time your out shopping grab a few cans of food and take them to a food drive.  There's a ton of things you can do but the main goal is to simple, give the gift of courtesy and politeness. So try putting a smile of someones face, you might just end up putting one on your own, because Lord knows it feels good to feel good. Say Word!
