The Gift: of Handwriting a Thank You Note

BREATHE + PAUSE + PONDER

The gift of handwriting a thank you card becomes a sanctuary of seeing + being seen.

All too often, we become stricken with indecisiveness when handwriting a thank you note to someone. However, the main ingredient doesn’t begin with the words; it begins with the heart.

Once we connect with our hearts the words flow forth from a wellspring of letting that person know that they are seen + appreciated for who they are, and how they dared to see you.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
– William Arthur Ward

scribbling BENEDICTION

SOULjourner, have you recently received a thank you note from someone; how did it draw your heart in?

Is it time to scribble a thank you card to someone?

To elevate your heartfelt message, consider choosing from two botanical designs in the fill-in-the-blank thank you postcard collection.


The Postcard Wording:

“Dear (Recipient),

Thank you for the (gift). Receiving such a (adjective) gift was absolutely (adjective) and made my heart feel (emotion). My (noun) is full of (noun), reminding me of our precious connection. You are a gift. I’m truly (emotion).”

*There’s a word bank on the back of the card to provide gentle grammar prompts for the fill-in-the-blank, if needed.

COMMUNAL BLESSING

To tend to the garden of our souls, may we generously give to another the gift of a handwritten thank you; and may we likewise, generously receive thank you from another. Ase’ + Amen.
