January is National "Thank You" Month

Merci, grazie, danke, gracias, thank you! No matter how you say thank you...January is the Nationally recognized thank you month.

I grew up being taught the basic courtesies of saying please and thank you and am so pleased to find out that there is a designated month set aside to remind us the importance of being thankful. 

January is also the month of new beginnings. So...what if each of us started a new tradition that kept us being mindful of being  thankful this month and all year long? As one of my new beginnings I am going to send at least one thank you card to a family member/friend, etc, every month to let them know that I appreciate them for something they have done for me.

Here are some additional ideas to help you remember the things that you are thankful for:

• Do something nice for someone to let them know how much you appreciate them.
• Remember to thank those you may have just met. 
• Write someone a thank you note, or send an email telling them you are thankful for something they did for you
• Do something nice for someone else - kind of like a "pay-it-forward" project
• Make a thankful journal and write one thing, or more per day that you are thankful for

Here is a copy of my thank you card that I will be sending to someone for the month of January.

This finished card measures 4X4. I used Blue Lagoon and Butter Cream card stock, Morning Mist and Black Licorice Ink, Script background stamp, # 112 Thank You Artist Trading Stamp (ATS) and Spellbinders Petite Labels One and Sprigs Die and Journey Twine
