How do you express your gratitude?

View all responses

Showing gratitude is always difficult for me. I’m not really good with words (even though I’m a writer!). I’m the kind that’s always to-the-point, so a simple “Thank you,” is probably what I’ll say, but it makes me feel guilty. I’m always left thinking I could do more.

However, when I have some time on hand to do some thinking I’ll either buy a gift or make a gift. It might be a painting, photos I’ve printed, an item purchased for them (usually something they’ve always wanted), a gift card, etc. If they are starting a business and they had asked me for advice or guidance, I’ll purchase some of their items. It all depends on how well I know them too.

I’m not the greatest when it comes to gratitude though. I often forget and then by the time I remember, it’s already some years later. I try my best though, and I think that counts.
