Never too late to say, "THANK YOU"

Time is fleeting and action of the essence.

When I left Oregon Christian Writers Conference (OCWC) I planned on sending “Thank You Notes” immediately. I purchased the notes while in Oregon with plans to write and address them during my layover in Denver.

That didn’t happen. I read a book, took a walk, mulled over what I’d learned and let my tired brain relax. A vacation of 16 days is wonderful, but when I arrived home life called my name.

Husband had worked super hard to have everything neat at home, but my cubicle at work, Wow. Desk piled high. Long hours. Each day I arrived home exhausted.

Then all the other deadlines to meet and look it’s already a month since OCWC. If I’m not careful the window of time for “Thank You” will have passed—or does it ever.

This weekend I received a "Thank you for your support" from our granddaughter and two emailed ‘thank yous’ for my contribution to the cancer support group. I felt thrilled with each note.

Great lessons for the week:

Thank you notes don’t need to be lengthy or clever—just sent.

It’s never too late to say “Thank You. I appreciated your workshop, your materials, your sharing, and/or your help.”

This week I plan on sending notes of thanks, how about you?
