Thank you!

Sometimes in todays society I believe the words "Thank you" are under used although some may say over used.  We always here the words when you are out in public and a nice stranger opens a door or picks something up for you.. Most people would reply "thank you" and go about their way.. but what about the people you see everyday: co workers, friends and spouses, how often do you say thank you to them?  i know I don't hear it very often especially not as often as I would like to and although I don't hear it and i make an effort to show my appreciate but i know that I'm gilty of the same non appreciate no thank you sometimes too.  

During the gift givings of my wedding I tried to make an immediate effort to send out thank you notes to all of those individuals that gave us a  gift.  Each person received a hand written personalized thank you.  Even though after doing 50+ thanks yous it didn't feel as personalized.. And while writing my thank you cards  I realized that thank yous should really be used more often.  Especially after I donated my goods to the domestic violence shelter and only days later I received a hand written thank you for my donation~! I literally just packed up my old stuff and drove in 50 yards up the street and I was appreciated . 

So today and all other days when you see someone (Not just a stranger) do something special, somethings that showed extra effort Don't forget to thank them.. A little kindness can go along way!
