When was the last time you received a hand written thank-you note? If you have to think hard to remember, you are probably not alone. I personally do not feel that I do a lot that deserves a thank-you, but doesn't it feel good to know that someone took the time to write you one?
Knowing how it feels to receive such a note- why don't we take more time to write them ourselves? I think it is one of those things that ends up on our 'I'm too busy' list. But are we really too busy? Think of all the times when you are sitting in your car waiting to pick up a child, waiting for an appointment or for a meeting to begin. What if you tossed a pack of 'thank-you' cards into your bag for moments such as these? This is something I have started doing recently. Just knowing that I have those cards in my bag- I find myself actually thinking about people who I could send a quick 'thank-you' to. You should try it!
And even though I know it's much nicer to hold your own thank-you note in your hand....here is a snapshot of a thank-you I wrote just for you!

First of all, Isaac--what a sweetie. And secondly, I love this idea. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHandwritten thank you notes ARE the best! What a cute thing that Issac did for you, don't you just love when kids do sweet things to show their love? I think that I need to go pick up the "Real Simple" mag. Is it the May issue?
