At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. “ ~ Albert Schweitzer ~
"This quote is expecially meaningful to me. For the past five years on my birthday, January 15th, I hand-write a Thank You letter to my friends and family. In each personal letter I tell that person why I feel blessed to have them in my life. I tell them what I think is special about them, and include one memory that we share that touches my heart. This year I got back letters from some of these same friends telling me what I meant to them. One letter in particular told me that my letter arrived on when she was having a bad day. After reading my letter it made her day seem brighter. This is one Thank You habit I will continue." ~ contributed by JoAnne Mechel, Tempe, AZ ~
What person in your life are you most grateful for?
When is the last time you told them?
For your eyes only, write in detail in your journal why you are grateful for this person, and how is your life enriched because of them.
Before the day is over, share your gratitude, by sending them a heartfelt note.

I followed the advice I read in The G Spot (Gratitude) book and wrote a short heartfelt note to a friend. It meant alot to me to let her know I was honored to have her as a friend, and I wanted her to know that. She called me in tears, telling me how much it meant to her to get my handwritten note and because it was handwritten and not an email, she will keep it in a special place. Now that started my tears. Tears of love and gratitude.
