A little thank you...

It is amazing how much a "thank you" means to us. We as humans need to hear it. It means we are doing something right. That someone appreciates us. It is a crucial yet often times forgotten part human interaction. The holidays are a perfect time to let the people in your life know how much they mean to you. The mailman, your hairdresser, your teachers, your childcare professionals, and your coaches. It does not have to be big. It can be a handwritten note or something you have made. A gift card or a plant. Anything that shows them that they are present in your mind. It truly means a lot. And when the holidays are over keep thanking the people around you. There are so many fun, easy, and affordable ways to show a "thank you". Type in "thank you ideas" on Pinterest and you will have days of ideas. At the Garden Center we have pixie poinsettias with a mini chalkboard and apple in it for the amazing teachers out there. Know an owl lover? Create a spruce tip planter with little furry owls and pinecones. Keep it simple yet classic like a wreath with a red bow. And if you are able, hand deliver your "thank you." It just makes it better. Have fun, be creative, and make it personal.
