August 17 - A Thank You

Day 228 of a year of Kindness

Janine Zeitlin, ambassador #26, offered a note of thanks.It feels like the world needs acts of big, radical kindness but I don't feel like I have the capacity or means right now to deliver that. As I try to figure out how to be more radically kind, I'm settling for smaller acts, including expressing gratitude.This weekend, I put a card in the mail to thank my parents for organizing a birthday celebration for my daughter. I said thank you, but sending something tangible to recognize their love and labor felt better.

Science of Kindness: Research reveals that sending a thank you note is kind because it expresses gratitude, which is a powerful emotion that can improve both the sender’s and recipient’s well-being. Handwritten notes add a personal touch, making them more meaningful and appreciated. Overall, thank you notes are a thoughtful way to show appreciation and strengthen relationships. #kindness #kindnessmatters #kindnessisfree #thankyounote
