One of the most fun gratitude practices I’ve encountered is the idea of writing a thank you note to people who have done a kindness.

That’s right. A thank you note that’s not necessarily for a gift or even for an act directed at you. For something you know they did or do regularly to make the world a better place.

Do they encourage others?

Volunteer with kids?

Foster rescue animals?

Share produce from their garden?

Or do something else that gives from their heart?

This kind of thank-you note mean so much! They are usually a surprise, and provide such a spirit-lifting boost.

Oh and I do mean a “note”…not an email. Not a text. But the buy-pretty-cards-and-send-through-the-mail kind of note.

Dollar stores are a great resource for this. But if you pulled a sheet of lined paper out of a notebook and wrote a note? It would have the same effect.

So try it! I’m doing it today and so excited about it!
