Since I can’t send you all thank you cards…
Today I wanted to share something simple. Often, we become so tied up in the details that some of the most basic acts of kindness are forgotten. In a hurry we forget, “Please”, or “Bless You”. But the hardest gesture to remember is the most important, thank you.
Expressing gratitude sometimes takes more than just saying it. Of course it depends on the act of kindness and your relationship. But usually, if anyone goes out of their normal routine to do something for you, write a thank you card. I believe most of us know to write a thank you card after a job interview or for wedding gifts. It’s those odd times when someone really went out their way should be thanked too! A dinner party, coffee date, an awesome recommendation, all of these should be thanked.
So keep a stack of thank you cards handy or blank if you chose to get creative. Saying thanks takes all of five minutes, if that. It’s the most important detail of planning anything.
Now I completely understand, life gets hectic and we (myself included) forget but if you try your best to make this a habit I believe it will pay off. Good things happen to those who aspire to be good people. And that’s what being pretty is truly all about.
