A Month Of Thanks(giving)

November 3, 2014 by Michelle Filed Under: Life Leave a Comment

The month of November is more than just a month where people start planning their turkey and dressing feasts.  More than pumpkin and pecan pies and trying to figure out how to get 15 people around a table that only seats six…  It’s a month where many people reflect upon the people and things for which they are thankful.

In years past I’ve seen many friends and acquaintances post on Facebook a daily, “Today I am thankful for…..”.   Thirty days of thanks.  Have you ever done the thirty days of thanks?

I’ve never done it myself, and I’m not going to do it publicly this year. I want my thanks to be more personal.  Not saying that you who have done the thirty days of thanks on Facebook haven’t put a personal touch to your statements.  I have read many posts in years past that were heart-warming and touching.  I’ve just decided to use this month to sit down and write thank you notes to friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, etc.

There’s so much that we have to be thankful for, and I personally don’t tell the people around me often enough how much they mean to me and how much I appreciate them.

If you’re looking for a challenge, something to help you have a more grateful heart, or just the desire to express to others how much you appreciate them, sit down and write a thank you note.  For the next 27 days I’m writing thank you notes.  How will you show those around you how much you are thankful for them?

And now, a reflection on my little turkey from last year…and to one little boy that I am so completely thankful for…

Sending Thank Yous

August 20, 2014 by Michelle Filed Under: Being a Mom, Life Leave a Comment

Since I was a little girl, my mom has always made comments about sending notes.  Especially “thank you” notes.  A few months ago I’d posted about being terrible about sending notes of any kind out…birthday, thank yous, thinking of yous, etc.  This was also the post where I’d said I was ordering stationery from Tiny Prints (llllooooovvvveeeee their prints!).  Well, I did.  I ordered some sweet notes for both Reynolds

and Eliza Jane

I did this mainly so that 1. I’m in the habit of sending out notes for their gifts and 2. when they’re old enough to scribble, they can start writing their own notes, on their own stationery.  {Your welcome, kiddos!}

I was thinking the other day as I wrote out a couple of thank yous, that there are are “proper” ways to write a thank you note.  So, I thought I’d share some in case anyone out there needed a little help (I always do!).

From the gold crown of cards: Hallmark – How to Write a Thank You Note

From Southern Living:  How to Write a Charming Thank You Note {because not all notes are charming? :)}

From the queen of etiquette: Emily Post: Being Thankful: A Thank-You Note Q&A

I actually enjoy writing thank you notes {though at times it can be hard to know exactly what to say – see above links!!}…a heart of gratitude puts me in a happier state!

Andrew is  presently playing in a soft-ball game so guess what this girl’s about to do…tune my heart towards some gratitude (see that, I made rhyme!)!!

 

Hey Friend! I'm Michelle and the writer behind this little blog. Thanks for stopping by my little place of happy.
