Our latest project for the ThriftyRambler Kindness Project
There are so many people in our lives that do the right by us: they help when we are in need, they offer understanding in times of trouble, they make us laugh on a cloudy day.
We thank a lot of these folks regularly and profusely. But some of them have slipped through the cracks. Maybe we were too young to understand the importance of a thank you. Perhaps we were too wrapped up in our own problems to take the time. Or maybe we only noticed their kindness and thoughtfulness in retrospect, long after they had drifted from our life.
So our TR challenge for everyone in 2014 is to go back and thank the people from your past. Begin each month with a Thank You to someone who at some point in your life deserved a simple, “thanks,” but never got it.
You could offer this thanks up on Facebook or on Twitter. You might send an email or a card. Or post a note on a community bulletin board. But find a way this year to thank 12 people who’ve given to you over the course of your life.
See whose day you can brighten with an unexpected note of appreciation.
