Tuesday's Treasures ~ A Simple Thank you

When I write personal notes, the priority thought is this:

"How can I make their day today?"

“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.”  Eckhart Tolle

Good morning, Dorie.
It makes my heart happy to know that HH and BB are learning the importance of writing Thank You notes. I was taught that as a kid too. Unfortunately, so many young people are not being taught that and it's so disappointing.

Hi Dorie - so thoughtful but it has to be taught.  Our daughters always sent their thank you notes.  I am certain they will pass that to their children.

Good morning, Dorie... my Mother trained me from an early age to write thank you notes for gifts... now I write thank you notes for all sorts of reasons and find excuses to buy thank you gifts as well. As Carol Williams said, so many young people today are not being taught to do this and how to do it.

Dorie- I too love your posts and that your grandchildren have been taught about the kindness in writing a thank you note!!!! Love the photo as well!!

Any written correspondence is getting to be a thing of the past as kids are given phones too early and think they can get away with a text like their parents do.  Great for your 2 little ones that they are at least being exposed to writing a note

Dorie, that is so sweet. My mother in law always wrote thank you notes for everything. It is a craft that seems to be going by the wayside.

Yes it's true Dorie. This seems to have to be taught nowadays. With kids growing up in this expanding technology world, they don't realize the little things that matter too. Very sweet!

Dorie,

We get cards and thank you notes from all 8 grand nieces and nephews...I am sure the 9nth one will do that too (she was born last month).  A

Hello Dorie - good habits can definitely be seen as presents of another kind.  

Dorie Dillard Austin TX It is the simple things in life that make them special - Happy Tuesday 

Dorie those thank you's are very special, and make my day when I get them.

Hello Dorie Dillard Austin TX , handwritten notes are so thoughtful, they truly bring joy.

Writing thank you notes is an important lesson for kids to learn!  And adults too for that matter.  Lovely post Dorie!

I admit, I have been lax at written thank yous. I hear now of people that don't even give verbal thank yous. 

Knowing our gifts are appreciated with thankful responses is one of the joys of giving!

Love is the best gift we can receive, especially when it comes from the special children in our lives.

It is a wonderful habit to instill in children. A thank you note is such a simple gesture, yet it resonates so deeply. 

I wouldn't expect your grands not to show their gratitude to you, Dorie! They were raised well, as all children SHOULD be. It's so sad that they are truly the minority too. 

I'm also a big believer in sending them and in finding reasons to do so. It truly makes my day to receive one so, I love making others feel special as well.
