29-Day Giving Challenge

I work on the first floor of a building. The building is not a high rise or anything, just three floors but fairly spread out in area. I realized sometimes we all just get stuck in our own work areas, people on the first floor really only talk to other coworkers on the first floor and the same for the other floors. I made a commitment to myself to go to the other floors one day a week and greet my other coworkers. It may sound simple, but you don't realize what you are missing when you don't make the effort. Of course, we are all working and all very busy, but just taking a few minutes out of day to have a small chat is very meaningful and I think brings us all closer together as workers and as people. I really probably would have never thought about doing this before 29 gifts. I feel more aware of myself and my surroundings and people all of the time now after reading Cami's book and being in the 3rd round of 29 gifts and reading other people's wonderful stories and blogs.
