People talk about all the negativity in the world. They say they want to do something to make the world a better place...but do they? Do I?

​

In November, 2018, I made a personal commitment to put more good energy in the world by sending a hand written thank you note every week to someone I appreciate -- a loved one, friend, colleague, or even a stranger.

​

For the first three years, I sent roughly one note a week, and in some cases many more (such as when I was thanking a group of people).

​

Since then, it's been more sporadic. Whenever I take the time to send a written thank you I feel good - about the person I'm thanking, about myself, and about the world in general.

​

I know the people who receive my notes appreciate it. Some say it's sparked them to write more letters and express thanks more frequently.

​

To you, my blog readers, THANK YOU for reading this. I hope reading all these examples of appreciation is a reminder of all the positivity around us.
