Gratitude, thankfulness, or appreciation is a positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive. Wiki
Growing up my mum actively encouraged my brother and I to write thank you cards. To family who sent us birthday gifts, to teachers who inspired us, to team coaches who believed in us and even to neighbors who let us climb and then fall out of their trees! At times I’m sure my Mum grew tired from nagging us to write out our thank yous… I’m so pleased she persevered. Letting someone know you appreciate them is one of the best gifts you can give. Still to this day I write out thank you cards, rarely do I receive them and this week I was totally pumped to get not one, but two thank you cards in the post! One from my Grandma – thanking me for her birthday gift and one from a candidate – thanking me for the opportunity to interview for a role at lululemon.
So be thankful, write it out and post it and you never know who will do the same for you.
The simple things in life are so often forgotten, yet so important and mean so much.
I may not be able to send you a thank you card, but I thank you for reminding us to forget about E-mail, Twitter and Facebook, pick up a pen once in a while, and use the good old fashioned postal service.
Thank you Scott, I should send you a card for being the first to comment on my new blog!
