#ThankfulActs, Day 2: Write a Thank-You Note



How did yesterday's challenge go?  Did you thank a door holder? I thanked a man who held the door open for my daughter and me, and (thinking of this challenge) I remembered to speak my thanks clearly.  I tried to make eye contact, but he wasn't looking at me, so I didn't succeed with that.  Overall, though, I think he recognized that I was sincere in my thanks.  As an added bonus, my daughter also spoke up and clearly thanked him as well.

The #ThankfulActs challenge for today is to write a thank-you note. We might have specific thank-you note challenges later in the month, but for today, feel free to choose anyone as the recipient.

Find a pen and paper or card, and tell someone thank you.  Be specific in your thanks.  In this time of texts and instant messages, receiving a hand-written note will be a pleasant surprise.  

I'd love to hear how your #ThankfulActs are going, and if you have any suggestions for future challenges, please let me know.  Thanks!

  2. I accept! My baby sister really helped me out this week and while I did thank her on the phone and I did thank her by email this would make her feel very special!

    1. Handwritten notes are less common than they used to be; I'm sure she would be thrilled!

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...
