We all have the power to make someone feel good, we just don’t use it often enough.  And the truth is, a thank you note makes the sender feel just as good as the person who receives it. So for all you wannabee thank-you-note-writers, here are a few ways to make yourself (and someone else) feel good.

Send a card to thank your sister for being helpful with your kids

Thank a soldier for serving his or her country

Thank your professional mentor you haven’t talked to in a while

Send a teacher a thank you note in the middle of the school year instead of at the end

Thank your hubby in a handwritten personalized note card for being such a great guy

One of the most rewarding thank you cards, for both you and the recipient, is the one the recipient least expects; and most importantly, the one that shares something that’s in your heart. Try it and see how good you feel!
