Sometimes we need to realize that we aren't the same as everyone else. We may often be offended by the fact that someone didn't send a Thank You note, and miss the ways they are showing their gratitude. What YOU do to say "Thank You" may not be the same for your neighbor.
You may religiously send out Thank You notes. While the person you did a kind deed for may instead be ready and willing to bring over a meal any time you need it.
How much do we miss out on if we constantly focus on how we would LIKE things to be done. How many tender mercies do we overlook while looking for that perfect show of appreciation?
Sometimes, Thank you notes are not what is needed. Sometimes our Children being taken to the park when we need a break, or a meal brought over when our hearts are too broken to make a meal is even better than that piece of paper we're upset we didn't get.
