It’s such a great feeling to receive a warm welcome. Whether it’s a hello from a stranger on the street or a friendly gesture from a familiar face, a welcome is often a much needed pick-me-up on an otherwise ordinary day.
There’s nothing quite like a warm welcome to make us feel like we’re a part of something greater. It reminds us that we are seen and valued, that our presence matters and we belong.
A welcome also reminds us to take a step back and appreciate the people and things around us. It’s a reminder to show up and to be mindful of how we show up.
So, next time you encounter a warm welcome, don’t be shy—acknowledge it with a thank you and maybe a smile! And if you’re the one giving the welcome, then keep up the good work!
