I noticed something about me and Trent. We say thank you to each other a lot. I don't think we used to do this so much...it's not something we talked about or decided to be better at...it just sort of popped up. And I love it.
It's in day to day things like "Thank you for making dinner" or "Thank you for doing laundry" when really...Trent doesn't think twice about making dinner and I don't think twice about doing laundry.
It's in things that show skill like "Thank you for changing the oil in my van" or "Thank you for sewing that button back onto my shorts" when really...we're happy to spend our time and skill for the other, especially to save some money.
It's also in big picture things like "Thank you for being our household's foundation for sanity" or "Thank you for working so hard to provide for our family" when really...we do what we do and we are who we are.
A simple 'thank you' says so many things...
I see your effort.
I value your time.
I appreciate your skill.
I acknowledge your worth.
It is basically effortless to say yet can make such an impact on someone. Why don't you give it a whirl?
