Say It Now: Simple Ways to Thank the People Who Show Up
Sunday morning, coffee in hand, sitting in my usual spot on the couch, I had a moment of realization: I’m surrounded by people who don’t need a special occasion to show they care. They check in, encourage, and affirm me, just because they do.
It hit me how much I appreciate them, and I started a list—of the little things they’ve done that made a big difference. And now, here I am with that list, cards, stamps, and a pen ready to actually say thank you. This is one of those moments where we don’t keep it to ourselves.
So, if you’re looking for a little nudge to tell someone how much they matter, here are a few sentiments you can edit for your people:
"I've been meaning to say thanks for checking in on me. It really means a lot, and I don’t always take the time to acknowledge it."
"I appreciate you showing up, even with just a quick text. Your support doesn’t go unnoticed, and it’s great to know you’re there without needing any fuss."
"Just a quick note to say thanks for being there when I needed encouragement. I’ll always remember that."
"Thank you for being a great listener. Your willingness to really hear me out and offer your insight means the world."
"I truly value your genuine spirit. I’m really grateful to have you in my life."
"Your joyful energy is contagious! In a world that often rushes by, you always take the time to connect."
with joy,
