During this challenging time, don’t underestimate the power of a simple thank you. With appropriate physical distancing, thank your mail carrier.

Thank the person checking you out at the supermarket.

Thank your garbage collector.

Thank your pharmacist.

Thank the UPS delivery guy.

Thank whoever delivers your pizza, or arranges your pickup order.

Thank the drive-in teller at the bank.

Thank the friend who calls and checks up on you.

Thank the healthcare workers, the ones who are family and friends, as well as total strangers.

Thank them by your actions as well: leave a sticky note in your mailbox to thank your postal worker.

Say to the cashier, “I appreciate you being here.” Tell them to stay safe. Send a note to your friends and family, thanking them for being there for you.

Saying thank you is a big part of living a life of gratitude and building your resilience. It seems so simple, and is more important than ever. Not to mention, your mama would expect nothing less.

Thank you for reading these daily resilience dispatches. I appreciate you being here. Stay safe!

Love,
Susan
