Notes of Thanksgiving

The word gratitude is derived from the Latin word gratia, which means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness (depending on the context). With gratitude, people acknowledge the goodness in their lives. How do you share gratitude?

I love writing notes of gratitude all year long but in particular during this time of year as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States.

Writing a thank you note is one way to cultivate gratitude during the thanksgiving season and beyond! Writing your note of thankfulness can actually convey more genuine feelings than a quick text or email. It causes you to pause and really think about what you want to express. It is a deeper investment in time and your own handwriting makes it personal.

You can surprise a stranger or cultivate a relationship with someone you know by expressing your enjoyment and appreciation of that persons impact on your life. Write it. Mail it! This good old fashioned habit is easy to do and means a lot to the recipient.. it’s a wonderful habit to get into.

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” — William Arthur Ward
