5 Tips for Mastering the “Art of Thank You” in Your Quilting Life
”People don’t say thank you any more. Or write thank you notes,” a friend mentioned the other day.
Is this you in your busy life? In your quilting life or business? Do you take time to say or show your appreciation for deeds done, words said, gifts received?
Even though I was taught, by a mother who sat us at the dining table to write thank you notes the day after receiving a gift, I find myself so caught up in a busy life that I must keep a “thank you note list” or “thinking of you list” so I don’t forget. Even if it’s a verbal “thank you,” it means more than ignoring. An e-mail note also will suffice, too, when it isn’t possible to send something through themail.
Develop a reputation as someone who appreciates others and what they do.
*Have little appreciation notes on hand that you sign and drop into the mail.
*Send a thank you e-mail to your online customers and friends.
*Realize the “older” (grandma) generation was brought up with mothers who made sure they wrote thank you notes.
*Carry postcards with you so you can write notes while you wait or find someone needs a bit of cheer. These may be special ones or simply those purchased at the post office with a happy face sticker on them.
*Smile! Even those little smiling faces on your e-mail notes add a bit of cheer with thank you’s.
Don’t be someone of whom is said: “They never say thank you. They don’t even acknowledge when they receive a gift or a communication.”
