“God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say ‘thank you’?”
~ William Arthur Ward
I love writing thank you notes, but I am always woefully behind on my social correspondence. Last night, I received a note that encouraged me to get back on track. I had sent a gift to a friend who had a baby. She texted me when she received it and said she would follow up with a “proper” thank you. I told her not to worry about sending a note. After all, she had thanked me, and she has her hands full with a newborn and a toddler. But I received her handwritten thank you note a few days later and it is one of the most thoughtful notes I have ever received. Given how much her note meant to me, I decided to redouble my commitment to saying thank you. I don’t know that I will ever catch up, but her kind note was a reminder of how much a thank you can be appreciated.
