If you’re going to thank someone, then THANK them
This is not a post (AND video!) about how much I dislike people saying the meaningless phrase “no problem” instead of “you’re welcome” after being thanked. Although I believe that last sentence made my stance very clear.
This post is about HOW to thank someone in a CREATIVE way.
Not so much in the everyday things (where you would say the proper and polite “you’re welcome” and not the lazy “no problem”)…but this is in regard to someone who was super thoughtful and went out of their way to show some sort of kindness.
As you know, I am not one to shy away from an actual thank you NOTE. Yup, on a piece of paper (maybe even stationery) with a pen and written out words. POSSIBLY even a postage stamp. People rarely send something so 20th Century thus a thank you note stands out.
But recently a kindness was gifted to me…very unexpectedly, as many kindnesses are…that immediately got my creative juices flowing. This person needs a proper thanking, I knew.
So I could write up the whole story on JOEY SCHALJO but I let the thank you video (oh yes I did!) tell the story.
