Thoughtful Thursday

Do something thoughtful today! These are our ideas, but we encourage you to think of others:

  • Write thank you notes to teachers, grocery store employees, or healthcare workers.
  • Write words of encouragement and stick them in your neighbors’ mailboxes.
  • Call someone who is alone just to say hello.
  • Say appreciations about each family member at dinner.
  • Let kids brainstorm other ideas!
