ActiveRain is a Great Place! And, Thank Yous All Around!

By
Real Estate Agent with Sabinske & Associates, Inc. (Albertville, St. Michael)

 

I have gotten about six thank you notes in the last week from various Rainers.

 

That must be a new record. It was great to have the winners from the Anna Banana Go for the Gold winners thank me. But others have, too. And seemingly for small things that I have done.

 

It is quite satifying knowing that they cared enough to send a note.

 

Do you thank people who reblog your posts? Make a nice comment? Help you out with some advice or help you correct something in your blog, perhaps?

 

You might want to think about doing that. They took some time to help you out.

 

You might want to return the favor. Those who think well of you on the way up, sometimes help you if you fall. Just a thought for a Wednesday!

Hi Suzanne - With everything positive you have been involved in here, and your new(old) focus on helping others, I'm surprised you only got six. You're an AR treasure!

I sure thank Dick all the time.  But, I probably should thank you, too, for getting me into this mess.  (: }

Suzanne -  Glad you got those cards.... much deserved.  Thank you for all you've done for me in the past year my friend.  You rock!  To answer your question do I say thank you to others in the Rain... Yes mam' I do.  I may miss here and there but I really try to stay on top of my manners.

Hi Suzanne -- what a great suggestion!   I definitely need to do more thanking both here on Active Rain and in life.   Thanks for the nudge.

Well, now, I have a ton of thank yous to write.  You have all been so generous to me as well.  And, I think that this time perhaps a handwritten note will be what is called for in addition, of course, to returning all your comments.

Suzanne- thanks for the reminder.  We were always taught to say please and Thank You but sometimes in this email and internet age, I think we sometimes forget.  I too  received some emails thanking me for this last challenge.  Very unexpected and very much appreciated.

Suzanne, We do try to post a thank you comment on the rebloggers (although some disable comments so it's a bit tougher to do).

I try to thank people...I was raised that way and I believe it's just a common courtesy.

I have to add my thank you to you.   You brought me here, too.  Although, I am officially your sponsor, you were and are the driving force for my presence here.  Thank you.

Hello Suzanne, I seem to keep writing blogs about all the great AR members who have shown me so much kindness, patience and advice.  You are one of them.  I am amazed how a complete stranger is welcomed so warmly into the family.  Thank you again.  I am so glad to be your friend in the rain.
