  • #14: Thank You Cards are Important

    Daily Dose of Direction

    Keegan, Kaleb, & Khloe,

    When I was younger, I remember Grandma Lovette relentlessly conveying to us the importance of writing Thank You cards. While I didn’t enjoy the task at the time, I’m glad that I wrote all of those Thank You notes after my Open House, wedding, etc…

    By sending handwritten Thank You cards to people, you are accomplishing a couple of different things: first, you are acknowledging your appreciation of the gift you received or the task that someone performed for you, and secondly, you are making your appreciation personal by taking the time out of your day to write and send the note.

    It’s means something. People remember those times when they receive a Thank You from someone.

    I think times have changed a little bit in regards to this. Technology has altered how people carry out their communication with each other. There may be times when a thank you to a friend or relative could be carried out via email or using a social media format if the other person uses those forms of communication as well.

    Most often, when a thank you is called for, an actual handwritten option is the best.

    It doesn’t have to be long. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

    You just need to do it.

    Well… that’s an absolutely boring DDD, but still important.

    Let’s try a joke.

    Why is the obtuse angle sad?

    Because it’s never right.

    Love you always,

    Mom
