Last week was a women’s conferenence and I signed up to help my friend Kathy with the luncheon. Before you assume that I am motivated by strictly benevolant motives, I wanted a brainless job after a tiring week teaching. And it WAS fun. I got to visit with two women that I have not known as well as I wanted to, and it was lots of fun.
But the interesting thing about the event was the note I recieved afterward. It was from one of the women who had planned the event. The short, personal note expressed gratitude and a warm friendship. I find that though I’ve read it a few times, I just don’t want to throw it away.
Similarly, I have a new friend in my writing group who thanked me warmly for helping her establish her blog. It only took me a few minutes, but her warm thanks made me feel so good. It promotes the impulse to shed kindness.

I realize that my life would be better if I was more diligent in expressing the warm friendship and gratitude I feel for all those who serve and help me. Writer’s of sweet little thank-you notes have class. When we make others feel appreciated, we feel happy ours/elves. When we notice other’s goodness, we have a greater measure of it ourselves.
A prince/ssly person has a grateful heart and expresses it clearly. Join me in doing better.
