@Natasha – so very true. appreciation and giving thanks is good under all circumstances
@Sheila -thank you and stay encouraged. We owe a huge debt to the elderly in our community and I know they would be pleased seeing us pay it forward.
@Troy – agree. undergrad would be a great place for leadership coaching and training. Most of that seems to begin in grad school. That feels a little late.

Leadership coaching should be implimented in college. I had the opportunity to have a executive coach and my career path was on the right track…..Barbara, keep coaching

Barbara,

Once again, I appreciated your post. I believe in sending thank you notes and “how I really appreciate” you moments. I have tried to make a habit of remembering all the people who played an important role in my life. Without your Aunt Betty and a few others in the community, I know I would not have some of the qualities I have now. May God continue to richly bless you with the gift of encouragment.

I think this is awesome!! It is so true, even for “strangers” we meet in passing at the bank, or grocery store who hold open the door, just so we can slip in out of the rain, just in time. A “thank you” spoken to them at that moment, looking them in their eyes, can do wonders-for both parties involved.

And YES- handwritten thank you notes are MUCH BETTER than email ones! They truly let the person know you are grateful!

Thanks for sharing this- I need your address now.
Natasha
