Saying Thanks
by Amanda Huggins
Saying thank you or otherwise expressing gratitude is an incredibly simple gesture, but it’s one that is disappearing rapidly in our need-it-now culture. In the age of instant gratification, the value of a “thank you” seems to be getting lost in the rush of things.
Last night, I got a nice reminder that gratitude is not yet a lost art:
I write for Shannon’s blog, A Girl’s Gotta Spa, and I know how busy she is. Even though the comment couldn’t have taken more than a few seconds to write, it says a lot that she took the time out of her day just to say thanks. I had a rough few days at work myself, so this simple thanks was enough to totally make my week.
It’s a good thing to keep in mind. Is there anyone you’ve forgotten to thank or tell them how much they’re appreciated?
Let them know before the weekend is over.
