Send Thanks – Virtual Thank You Notes

Friday, January 10, 2014 by Lolli Leave a Comment

This post brought to you by SendThanks.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

Several years ago, I was teaching a class of 16 and 17 year old girls. Some class sessions were wonderful and inspiring, but more often than not I left class feeling like I had just spent 40 minutes talking to a pile of coats. The girls weren't horrible….they just didn't seem to pay much attention. Between whispered giggles, yawns, and checking their phones, I wasn't sure if they were even listening.

One week, one of the girls in my class handed me a small slip of paper. On the tiny scrap of paper, she had written, "I know it probably doesn't seem like I'm listening sometimes, know that I always am, and I appreciate your lessons each week. Thank you for being such a great teacher."

What a difference that little thank you note made! I looked at each of those girls differently from that day on, and I certainly planned my lessons with a different perspective, too.

About SendThanks.com

Have you ever noticed that it feels just as good to give thanks as it does to receive it? Have you ever had an instance where someone did something worthy of your thanks and you didn't have a chance to express your thanks?
