Say Thank You…

Good Morning lovelies!

It’s Thursday, and it’s pouring down with rain outside my window, so it seems to be a perfect time for another positive mental health tip, and this time, it is to say, thank you.

It may be something we don’t do enough, but it can make a huge difference to the way we feel, and of course, to the person we are saying it to.

When we show our gratitude, it makes us feel fulfilled that we have made someone smile and shown them we appreciate them being there. It also shows we are respectful of them and can help build trust, which means we are more likely to help each other again in the future.

Handwritten thank you notes add a personal touch and show we have taken time to find a pen, and put our thoughts down on paper, as well as being a lovely memo for the recipient to keep.

One of the best things about saying thank you, is that it is free to do. It doesn’t cost anything to show someone we recognise what they’ve done, and this can help build loyal relationships too, whether personally or in business.

My thank you today goes to all of you reading this, as you have found time to visit our website, and keep in touch with us, which means a lot, as we wouldn’t be here at all, putting together happy parcels, if it wasn’t for you!

So, have a think, who would you like to say thank you to?…

Last Blog Post Of 2017!

Okay, I have an apology… shockingly my last blog post was on 16th November! I’m not sure how that happened, other than, like everyone else, the lead up to Christmas and getting everything done in time has taken over, and so the blog has taken the hit!

I want to say a huge thank you to every single one of you who has supported us this year, and purchased our parcels. The Smile Parcel began, as a bit of a day dream, less than a year ago, and the response from you has been amazing, so we’re hoping to grow & grow next year, and send out many more Smile Parcels to anyone who could do with receiving a ‘pick-me-up’ and a smile, in the post.

I’m looking forward to gathering further ideas for posts to add on here to, that may help you through tough times, even if just a little, with tips, mindfulness exercises, and techniques that help me through too.

I haven’t decided yet whether to update the blog monthly or fortnightly next year, so I’ll wait and see how it goes. If you have any ideas that you’d like discussed than please do let me know.

Finally, I wish you a very merry and happy Christmas, and if it is a difficult time of year for you, remember it is just a day-and a bit, and 2018 will be a brand-new beginning, a new start, with everything else left behind – if 2017 hasn’t worked out to be the best for you, it’s time to turn the page, and start writing from a fresh.
