What would my grandma say? I remember her scolding! She wanted me to learn proper etiquette. I should acknowledge every gift and card. I should do more than sign my name when I send a thank you–I should also write a little note. I remember her admonitions, even if I haven’t always succeeding in following them perfectly.
Now we are in the electronic communication age. Greetings, cards, and even gifts are sent in an instant. One can receive hundreds of cards and greetings. What would my grandma say?
Would she still say that I should answer each of them individually? I don’t know. But given the virtual impossibility of sending personal thank you notes to all who sent greetings, shared love and friendship, and wrote words of well wishing for my birthday, this is my acknowledgement.
I have very special friends–you buoy my spirits and keep me going when quitting would be easier. Thank you for your love, humor, encouragement, friendship, and faith. Because of you, I have experienced another “life savor.”
[I think my grandma would say that I should attempt to return the favor. So, that is my resolution. I am going to be more diligent in encouraging others.]
