Appreciating those who Matter

Written By: Chip Rudolph ~ 2/20/2023

It is important to remember that the best gift anyone might give is the gift of TIME. Show your loved one that he or she matters enough to spend time with or for them. Create a gift that is personal. Make something, write something, spend a block of time doing something together. A meaningful and sincere connection comes from you the person, not what your money might buy.

Examples of expressions of thanks or gratitude:

• WRITE A POEM JUST FOR THAT PERSON
• CREATE A PIECE OF ART EXPRESSING FEELINGS
• MAKE AN ACCESSORY FOR CLOTHING WITH SPECIAL MEANING
• SECURE TICKETS TO A SPECIAL EVENT(PLAY, CONCERT, ETC.)
• OFFER AN INVITATION FOR A BRIEF OUT-OF-TOWN GETAWAY
• SPEND A SIMPLE DAY OF FISHING, HIKING, VISITING A MUSEUM

Earlier this month, many expressed their feelings to significant others in their life on Valentine’s Day. We often neglect to express our appreciation to others in our life that matter as well. Life is short.  Do not allow regrets for omitting these other relationships. A little goes a long way in maintaining an important connection. Recognize those that matter:

• FAMILY (PARENTS, CHILDREN, SIBLINGS)
• RELATIVES (AUNTS, UNCLES, COUSINS)
• FRIENDS
• NEIGHBORS
• CO-WORKERS OR EMPLOYEES
• SIGNIFICANT MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY

It is important that the people in our lives know that we care. Find ways to honor them and show our appreciation.

Annually, on the fourth Thursday of November, families and friends gather together to give thanks for their blessings.

From The Corner Home Office presents THANKFUL THURSDAYS throughout the year revealing additional reasons to express our thankfulness.
