#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!

Ten Things of Thankful: Autumn Edition

It's autumn time, one of my favorite times of year.  I just couldn't leave this weekend as a one-post weekend.  

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another...

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
