Goal for the Day: The Art of Thanks

Most of us received gifts this holiday season, and while—hopefully—we thanked the giver at the time, it’s always a nice idea to send a “Thank you” note.  I like to think that this courtesy is one that hasn’t gone out of fashion.  My belief is that if someone has taken their time to shop for and select a gift for you, that’s worth taking a moment to write a sincere note of thanks.  As threadbare as the saying sounds, it really is the thought that counts.  So many people are caught up in the item itself, that we forget that more so than a financial investment, giving someone a gift requires a far greater expense—the expense of time.
