You’ve made it so easy with your book and with your posts, it’s so easy for everyone to write thoughtful thank you notes. Thanks, Elizabeth.

You're more than welcome, Lisa. I usually love writing thank-you notes myself and find gratitude to be a genuine mood-lifter. But sometimes we need a hack or two to get them written!

I agree with Felice--there's a growing trend of some people skipping the thank yous in writing or in person. My grandmother would have given them all THE LOOK. Great relatable story, Elizabeth. Might nudge some people...

I hope so! Thanks so much. My grandmother would have done exactly the same! ;-)

I'm still waiting on thank you notes from some people for years. It's the topic for a future post! But these tips are great. Thanks!

Thanks, Felice! I'm afraid I hear that kind of thing all too often—that there has been no acknowledgement of a gift, especially not a handwritten one.
