It’s the end of another school year and the beginning of summer break. Whether or not you have school-aged children in your life, now is a great time to pause and consider people who make a difference in your life in some way. It’s a moment of gratitude for you, and a moment of acknowledgement for the other person. Take time to say thank you. A phone call, letter, email, text … any of these make a HUGE difference to the person receiving it. Thank you’s are a gift and you make a difference when you send one.
