Most Thankful!
Happy New Year!! Yes, I am back with more thoughts, updates and plain random ramblings!
Just an update on my 2012 resolution of writing a thank you note each day. This was one of the toughest, yet most rewarding challenges I have ever undertaken. It was not difficult to find something to give thanks but taking the time to write the notes. At first it was easy as I wrote the notes daily and then several at a time to keep up. Finally working out a system to write down daily my thanks and weekly the notes!
Never could have imagined the joy that would come from this year long project, like the priceless expression when I handed a thank you note to Marie at the dry cleaners. My favorite and best note story was chasing down our newspaper delivery guy, who in turn put a thank you card in our paper the next day! You don't need to write a note of thanks to show appreciate to all those people in your life, just tell them!
I kept a journal of every note I wrote and the reason so it would remind me that there is always, always something to be thankful for.....
