Writing Prompt Friday (thanks)

Hello and welcome back to Writing Prompt Friday! Next week is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. Which means everyone and their parrot is chiming “be thankful” and “count your blessings” and instructing everyone else to list everything for which they’re thankful. I’m all for gratitude. I also think that an important aspect of gratitude gets lost in the shuffle: gratitude to ourselves.

Seriously, when was the last time you told yourself “thank you” for being the amazing person you are? (I’m assuming.) Or for doing that super-cool thing you did? Or for getting yourself through a tough time? Or for helping someone who didn’t say thank you for whatever reason?

Small things or large, take a moment to thank yourself for getting yourself this far in life. Because that’s no tiny undertaking.

On to this week’s prompt…

Write a Thank You letter to yourself.

No limit on length.

Yours, Ducky

    I did it! Thank you for these prompts; so far, they’re the only thing that nudges me to write anything but technical content. It’s a quicky, but here’s my thank you note… https://notesonjesse.blog/thank-you-me/

      I love your Thank You, Me letter. And congratulations on everything you’ve done, especially for yourself and for those furbabies. And congratulations on a year of successful freelancing; that’s hard, but you did it.

      So glad these prompts help. That means a lot. 🙂
