Thank You Notes for Life’s Smaller Moments

thank-you-note-cardsThere are just so many good occasions in life, small moments really, for jotting off a personal note. But we tend to overlook these moments in our highly digitized, electronic-oriented, busy lives, relying instead on email, texting, Facebook and Twitter. Maybe we can’t argue with the immediacy and efficacy of the new social media, but they also signal something extra special when you write and send a personal note.

Wielding a pen and sitting down to write thank you notes tells the recipients much more about your intent and feelings than the actual words you use. And life is filled with many small moments that deserve this kind of attention. In fact, recognizing those small moments through your own words on paper and pen can turn something small into something much bigger.

It’s a no brainer to get out thank you notes for the big occasions like weddings, babies, anniversaries. But here are other common moments that you could overlook that beg to be addressed with the thoughtfulness of a personal, handwritten note:

Receiving Help

When sickness, care for a loved one, or big life events such as a move call upon friends and family to participate directly in your personal life, let them know how much it helped you with a simple and sincere, but handwritten, thank you note.

Unsolicited Kindness

When help comes spontaneously, follow it up.When someone who cooks you a meal, cares for your child, runs an errand or offers some thoughtfulness to help you in life, recognize the act with a personal note and let them know how much it was appreciated or helped you.

Special Interaction

Send a note for even the most personal of moments to cement their meaning to you. Maybe it was something tangible like a trip or dinner out, or maybe it’s less of an action and more of a condition, such as a new friendship, a special conversation, or help with a new job.
