the kind where you take a little ink pen and you write a note, you put a stamp on

it and you send it out in the mail. When is the last time you got a thank you note in

the mail, you probably still have it, am I right?

You know, Thank You notes are processed differently than all other types of mail, we get the junk

mail, in the mail with the catalogues, and the advertisements, and the flyers, and bills

and yat, dat, dat, dat, da, da Yet when some somebody actually stops and

sends us a thank you note, we hang on to it. We're like: "Wow, someone appreciates me,

and they noticed." And we tape these up on our refrigerator, we hang them up on the mantle

and we pin them up in the cubicle at work. We want people to know that we are appreciated.

Because being appreciated is something that every person needs.

Yet we don't say "thank you" enough. Being grateful, and having an attitude of

gratitude is a value that will never go out of style. It will NEVER go out of style and

you can never say "thank you" too much. Now I have this little coupon holder that

I keep all of my blank thank you cards in, I bought this coupon holder at the dollar store.

These cards I bought in the card section at

Walmart or Target or Albertsons or Publix or wherever you shop. (They come in packs

of 8, 10, 12, 20) They sell these little thank you notes and

there's a variety of different types of thank you notes for a variety of different types

of people and different kinds of things they might have done for you. But get in the habit

of writing thank you notes. It only takes a couple minutes a day.

It really only takes a couple of minutes a day. But it goes so far. People will hang

on to these for two and three and five and ten years, when a quick email or text gets

deleted. Get in the habit of writing thank you cards. It makes you feel good, it makes

the person you send the card to feel good, and it's a good idea.

It's a good idea.
