So yeah.
Not a big Valentine's Day fan. Never really have been. It's easy to say that it's because I don't have anyone to share it with and haven't for some time. It's easy to say that because I'd be lying if I claimed that there wasn't some truth to that. But to be honest, I've never really been a slave to the consumer version of holidays. So Valentine's Day has always been a bit of a lace-and-roses absurdity to me, anyway.
Having said that, I was thinking the other day - as I have been known to do - that there should be a National Thank You Day on the calendar. Not a conceptual thank you, like Thanksgiving where you look at all the goodness in your life. Thank You Day would be a day for specifically targetting those people in our lives who deserve thanks for some reason or another. So it's kind of like Valentine's Day, but more inclusive and less limited in the emotional spectrum.
I can count with one hand the amount of people I might send a friendly Valentine's Day card to. But my list of Thank You cards is long and needing much attention.
Who's with me?

Thank yous .... I owe a lot of those. Taking my unit out to lunch Friday for backing me up at the office while I was off attending to a family emergency. They really bailed me out.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I want to work on more than thank yous is simply correspondence. I owe so many people more than just a note, but an actual letter.
