I met the Mr when I was 17, and I remember my future mother in law giving me a thank you note for something I did. I thanked her for it, and she said she always sends thank you cards. Since I was 17 years old, I never gave it a second thought as I usually thanked people at the moment for something they did or said. I loved the feeling of knowing someone took extra time out of their day to thank someone and how nice it feels to get snail mail. Ever since then, I've always done thank you notes. It's second nature.
I keep all of the ones I receive because it just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to see that someone appreciated something I did for them or gave them. It kind of reinforces the desire to want to keep doing things to make people smile or make their lives easier knowing its appreciated.
Do you send thank you notes?

I always believed it was universally practiced since my mom was always insistent on sending thank you cards for everything. But mom's being mom's, she tended to do that for me and my brothers and just had us sign or write a little something in the card before she would send it out. It is a nice gesture and one that is always appreciated. There's no app for that!
ReplyDeleteI do send thank you cards. Someone once told me that I was over the top about it, which really bothered me, but I've continued to send them anyway. I enjoy writing them and putting a smile on someone's face.
