By taking the time to write someone a thank you note several things are accomplished:

• Appreciation is extended.
• The writer of the note feels uplifted.
• The recipient of the note is encouraged by your taking time to note what they did and in the process has more “fuel” for doing the same thing in the future.

I recently sent a thank you note to a coworker in another office building.  I had the chance to visit her cubicle and noticed the thank you note I sent was posted above her desk for all to see.  She saw me glancing at the note and told me how much it made her day.

Do you want to make someone’s day?  If so you have the power, send a thank you note!
