Considerate

There are many things I'd like to be called in this life.  But one that's important to me even if seems sort of bland and/or small is: considerate.

To me, considerate is about thinking of other people and putting that thought into action.

For example, opening the door for someone is nice and thoughtful, but it wouldn't go into my considerate actions folder.  I think they are much smaller actions.  Actions that people may not even notice -- even if it was meant specifically for them.

CASE IN POINT:  I've been doing a lot of work from coffee shops lately and I adore the people who plug their bulky computer cables into the bottom socket on the wall...leaving the top one open for a needy stranger.
