“Thank you!”
“We appreciate you”
Simple phrases of gratitude. A few words that, when spoken, can make a difference in the lives of others.
Today, we shared a note of gratitude with our mail carrier. A simple Christmas card of thanks and a Starbucks gift card were left in our mailbox for her to find. We see her regularly, but rarely talk. We wanted that to change today. We wanted her to know we appreciate the job she does and that we hope she has the merriest of Christmases.
Day 13 of the 25 Days of Giving is tomorrow and we will be leaving a generous tip for a waiter or waitress. It will be a moment to reward someone for the excellent service they provide. Food service can be a thankless job and we hope that we can change that, at least for a moment, tomorrow.
