Good Idea to Show Your Appreciation
Something that makes life sweeter is knowing you are appreciated!! There are many ways to do this, but tonight I am focusing on one, very specific idea to show your appreciation. That idea is to simply let another know through a letter or note. I believe it is important to let others know how much you truly appreciate them and are grateful to have them in your life. Writing letters or notes of gratitude allow you to flow free with your emotions and feelings toward that person. One of my favorites is to…
write little notes to my children and hide them in their school lunches, folders, books, backpacks, pant pockets, in their pillows, on the bathroom mirror, and any where else I can creatively hide them. When the girls find one, they are always so excited and feel so good inside. It is almost inevitable that a smile will immediately follow reading a special note to them! The same thing happens when we let co-workers, associates, bosses, friends, and family know how much we appreciate them by sending a letter. We can always send a text message or an e-mail, but a true letter in the “snail-mail” is authentic and took serious effort. It is a sweet gesture of absolute appreciation! It says, “I care about you.” Take the time to show someone you care about, how much you truly do appreciate them. A few other ideas of appreciation are;
Sending flowers, or picking wild flowers!
A Phone Call
Lunch or Dinner
Taking Over A Token of Appreciation (bread, a sweet treat, or a candle)
Text Message or E-mail
Send a Card or even an Electronic Card
Tell them Personally Out Loud
Give them a Hug
Serve them!!
There are so many ways we can show our appreciation, however the most important aspect about this idea, is that we “Just Do It!”
