Does your gratitude level need a boost?
Watch this short video about the power of saying thank you.
A written note can be enduring, poignant, personal and timeless. Too often today, it's easy to forget the value of a heartfelt, handwritten note or card. Several times on this blog, I've mentioned how prolifically my mother writes thank-you notes.
Years ago, when I was a stay-at-home mom, I had a travel-agent friend who sent me postcards from exotic destinations. Terry Seale's cards postmarked my dreams. Now, I pay her gesture forward by sending nearly 80 post cards from each place I visit. It’s a great tradition, and in many ways, a lost art.
HBO and the U.S. Postal Service have joined forces for a retail and online campaign to encourage consumers to send a handwritten card to someone they care about.
The Power of the Letter campaign promotes HBO's epic miniseries John Adams, which explores American history through one of its greatest founding fathers, a fiercely independent spirit whose unwavering vision steered America through a tumultuous period. Adams was a prolific letter-writer: He and his wife Abigail exchanged over 1,100 letters over the course of their courtship and marriage.
Starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney, and produced by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, the John Adams film premieres on HBO
March 16.
I'm especially grateful to my new HYC friends who have so faithfully encouraged me to live a healthy life.
Who deserves your gratitude today?
"Let us dare to read, think, speak and write." (John Adams)

YOU deserve my gratitude today for sharing such lovely, thought-provoking (not to mention educational*g*) comments. Thank you!
I am grateful for everything. My home, my family, my health, my ability to support charities I care about. I'm an extremely lucky woman and I know it.
