Journal prompt
A thank-you letter you might send
A short letter of thanks to someone, near or far, sent or kept.
This is one of the activity pages in Small Moments, our undated gratitude journal. The letter can be to a friend, a neighbour, a teacher from years ago or someone you can no longer reach. Keep it short.
A few ways in
- Perhaps choose one person, and start with 'Dear' and their name.
- Say what you are thanking them for, perhaps with one particular detail: the day, the place, the thing they said or did.
- Send it, tuck it in the journal or keep it for later. If you do send it, there's a line to note the date.
Example: 'Dear Mo, thank you for lending me the ladder on the day it rained. I'd have given up without it.'
A thought: A specific detail can make a thank-you easier to write: 'thank you for the soup on the Tuesday I moved in' can feel friendlier than 'thank you for everything'.
A journal is a writing hobby, not a treatment. A plain notebook is every bit as welcome.
