Does Just Saying Thank You Make a Difference?

There is something special about getting a thank you card. There is a certain permanence that allows the person to go back and re-read your words of appreciation and gratitude.

When you put your picture in a card with a heart felt message of appreciation, you can feel sure that your message is going to have more durability than when you just express your feelings through speech alone.

I find that every time I send a thank you card, the person will call me to say thank you. This opens up another opportunity to express my feelings through speech.

This site is all about “spreading an attitude to gratitude” and this area of the site is a collection of stories about how a few simple kinds words can have a great impact on someones life.

A story that immediately comes to mind is one that the CEO of my greeting card company tells. He is a prolific card sender and one day he had a prompting to send a card to the lady who plays the music at his church.

The following Sunday she pulled Cody aside and burst into tears. She had been feeling depressed and unappreciated in life and was on the verge of quiting her role of playing music in the church. On the day when her feelings were very low, she received Cody’s heart felt card of thanks in her mailbox. He let her know just how much her music meant to him and how much he appreciated the fact her music lifted his spirits every time he heard it.

That was all she needed to hear and she instantly remembered why she played music in the first place. So can a card change a person’s life? Well we will never know what would have happened if that dear lady did give playing the music, but one thing is for sure, it helped her through a tough patch.

Who knows why all of a sudden we have a promoting to tell someone we care; where these promptings come from is sometimes a mystery. The most important thing is we act when we feel a prompting to share a kind feeling…
