I Got A Thank You Note Today!

SXMGirl · ‎07-07-2010

It was a surprise. I went to a graduation party last month and the graduate did not talk to anyone except the other grads who were there. I really did not expect a note since he did not even know who I was (obviously, not a current high school grad). Just a friend of his grandmother.

Today, I got the nicest note thanking me for the generous gift, thanking me for coming to the party, and he hoped that I enjoyed myself. This made my day.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

Yay, it's not dead yet!

That is terrific, @SXMGirl ! Those timeless little niceties of life, where one person acknowledges another's thoughtfulness or kindness-- they're just the best!

That kind of thing is so welcome, and never goes out of style, no matter how few practitioners there are at any given time.

I am loving this post so much. What a wonderfu surprise. Sounds like they were raised right.

Being thoughtful is always in style. These are the things that really can bring joy to us. I wish the young man well in life. It was also nice of you to attend his party and gift him.

A nice Thank You note is always - warming.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

@SXMGirl It is very nice that someone took the time to write a note and mail to you. In today's world it is mostly textin and no talking even. Some folks have gotten off of the gratitude train and gotten derailed on proper manners and thanks. I mailed a check and graduation card in May and have yet to receive any acknowledgment.
