    This is meant for you.

    I wish you love.  I wish you joy.  I wish you happiness.

    May you wake every morning looking forward to your day and put your head down every evening tired and satisfied.

    Your life is too short to wonder what could have been.  Instead, wonder, ‘What next?’

    Be kind to the people around you and love them even when they make you mad.

    Tip your servers and help them to have a better day.

    Be gracious to the elderly.

    Spread love.

    Peace.

      thank you , but this is not all true, I tip well when I eat out. I am friendly to all, and yet I have no friends and no lover , just alone it seems foreveer.Yet I continue to smile and wave althout no responce is offered, Pic up trash to make the wold look just a little better and for doing so am called disgusting names.
      let life do as it may I got a beter place to go.

      This just annoyed me.

      Tipping is such an American thing. The people serving you should just get paid minimum wage in the first place.

      The reality is that servers DON’T make minimum wage, and tipping is the way they make their income. Whether or not you think it’s right, it’s the way it is.

      wow, you should come to canada, we get minimum wage AND tips. usually the tips are pooled, so they get split up evenly to everyone.

      Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
      Love never fails.

      These words are so true, yet sometimes they are so hard to live by. It’s very easy to get caught up in the daily grind, barely keeping our heads above water and feeling so tired that we can’t always remember that some days, all it takes is a smile.

      this is great. Love is all you need. I feel sorry for the guy who says “yes and “please”.You would feel more appreciated somewhere else, like Australia.

      Why would you not tip and help, even IF people were paid minimum wage? Is it so hard to drop two dollars in a jar because you know how hard a service job is? Even if you get paid minimum wage, two dollars from one person repeated many times throughout the day can make the difference between having food on your table or not. Two dollars out of your pocket because the person on the other side of the counter wasn’t a complete robot and actually put some care into their work is well worth it and can make someone’s day. I’ve lived off tips for my adult life and I can tell you, it makes the difference between being cold in the winter or having enough to feed your dog/kids/husband.

      Thanks,

      May the road rise up to meet you.
      May the wind always be at your back.
      May the sun shine warm upon your face,
      and rains fall soft upon your fields.
      And until we meet again,
      May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

      Minimum wage for a server is $2.13. Just FYI for those of you that didn’t know that tip IS our income.
