What a beautiful framing of etiquette! It is, indeed, so much deeper than good manners in that it helps us connect more smoothly with each other and carries the fragrance of kindness and civility which we are sorely lacking today. I have tried to express this to my note-writing followers -- the importance of looking at it as a gift and a privilege rather than a duty or a chore. Thank you for this wonderful perspective.
And I've ordered my personalized copy of Emily Post’s Etiquette - The Centennial Edition...can't wait to add it to my shelf and use it to guide my etiquette decisions.
