I always have this thing about thanking people..
Especially cleaners for our hostels..
Here is what touched me that day..
That morning, I was just going out to my friend's place and I was holding a bag of bananas..
The cleaner was there sweeping the stairs..
She said: "Makan pisang saja ke?"
I replied: "Tak ade lah, ada makan lain juga"
Then she said: "I tau. Kidding je"
I laughed and said: "Thank you ya~"
And so I went off..
I only came back until afternoon at past three o'clock as I had class after going to my friend's place..
And I found the cloth I put in front of my door to block cockroaches and as doormat was nicely folded..
(FYI, I didn't fold the cloth and only put there very simply and it was kind of a mess.. I'm a lazy person, so, yea.. haha)
So, yea, I was touched..
You can say it was her job to clean things up, but I'm quite sure she came before but did nothing about it (but I've never seen her before due to my classes)..
I think, maybe she felt appreciated and helped me to fold my "doormat"..
I hope it was the case..
I hope she felt appreciated..
I hope maybe I made her day..
Cos' she made mine too..
This simple act means so much..
A lot of times, I fear that I take things for granted..
So, I always hope I do not miss to thank people in my life that have done good to me..
No matter how small the matters are..
Show appreciation, it is meaningful to both the thanks giver and the receiver..
It makes the world better too!
I thank God for the ability to show gratitude and appreciation.. :)
