send thank you flowers often

In business and pleasure, amongst family and friends, all of us give and receive favours that we should show our appreciation for. But how many of us express our thanks? Is a simple “thanks, dude” enough? When do you send a thank you note? What about flowers?

As a general rule if someone does something kind, thoughtful, or a job well done you should let them know. It’s always appropriate to let them know how much you appreciate that they’ve taken some time out of their day and paused all the things that they could have been doing otherwise, just to help you out.

So go ahead, write an old fashioned thank you note and post it in the mail, pick up the phone and take two minutes just to say “thanks, that really made a difference” or send some flowers to show how much you appreciate someone’s effort.

You will feel great, the other person will feel great…and as a lovely hidden benefit the recipient of your gratitude will likely pay it forward and do something kind to another person.

An Attitude of Gratitude is Contagious – help spread it!
