People Matter - WAY TO GO

During the month of May speak as many encouraging words as you can to family members, friends, co-workers, neighbors and people who serve you in local stores. May is a beautiful month in America as Spring really arrives and the summer months of fun approach. Children celebrate moving from one grade to another, many weddings are celebrated in May, College Graduations are celebrated, High School graduations are celebrated or are just a few weeks from being celebrated, Mother's Day is celebrated, and nature celebrates green and numerous other colors as flowers are planted in yards. So lets make May "WAY TO GO" Month. Let's celebrate one another and lift one another up. I know all is not perfect and life is hard at times. That is exactly why we need a "WAY TO GO" month. Move away from sarcasm, and cynicism and into encouragement. So plan on speaking words of encouragement, mailing words of encouragement, emailing words of encouragement, facebooking words of encouragement, twittering words of encouragement, sending pictures out that are encouraging, and catching someone doing something right or the right thing and say, "Way to go." Here are just a few statements that you and I can use to practice "WAY TO GO".

Job well done. You look sharp. Way to go. That is awesome. You are awesome. Happy anniversary. Thanks for being my friend. I love you. Let me buy you lunch. Way to go. Excellent job. Congrats. That is a nice _________. You are one smart kid. Great catch. Great shot. You gave it your best. Let's shoot some hoop. Let's play catch. Let's get some coffee. Let ________________. Way to go. You have pretty eyes. Great report card. You are now a Junior (whatever grade) and that is sweeeeet. Way to go.
