And while we cannot easily overcome some of the negative impacts, we can make a concerted effort to do the best we can each.

Our best way to express appreciation is through direct one-on-one interaction.  However, time and distance are often challenging factors.  And we may also work remotely with talented professionals in distant countries.  Written communications can convey acknowledgement and appreciation, when it is impractical to be there in person.

The following techniques can help share affirmation and appreciation in our written communications:

GRATEFUL example our pastor shared in THKG message … one of our members is in constant pain, legally blind, etc., but shared gratitude even though his future may be limited.  “Joe” shared of a day this spring, where he loves flowers but he can no longer see them.  Still some of children set him out in the lawn — and he planted as he supervised planting of 100 bulbs.  He described a warm day & how he could make out shade of grass, and he saw where sky & horizon met that day for 1st time in a while.  That was one of his best recent days ever — and we ourselves take so much for granted.

Daily, we have numerous opportunities to share acknowledgement and gratitude in our written communications.  This applies both at work or home.   What we share in writing should be reflective of how we truly feel about ourselves and others.  And we should need to practice daily those concepts often, as we take on each new day with grateful hearts.
