Thank You Notes

I came back from vacation last week to find a thank you note sitting on my desk keyboard. It was a hand written note (written by a co-worker's wife) thanking me for thinking of them when getting rid of Ben's old bike. It was no big deal, we had recently given Ben a bigger bike and were going to get rid of his smaller bike - it would have ended up at DI. Instead I found out a co-worker had a son almost 3 years old so asked if he wanted it and gave it to him. I was glad to do it. Getting the thank you note was awesome - I wish I did things like that. I need to be better at just saying thank you - my new goal is to try and start hand writing thank you notes. I added some to my Amazon.com wish list so I will remember to actually get some.

I hope you will do that same - say please, remember the thank you and for those real special times write a hand written note. It will make you happier and I promise it will make the recipient of the note happier too - it's like giving away smiles.
