Beyond Giving Thanks, Receiving Thankfulness

During Thanksgiving we  reflect on what we are thankful for and we tell other people how much they mean to us. In order to add meaning to this Thanksgiving season be attentive to receiving thankfulness as it will give the giver of thanks a sense of elation that they have been acknowledged for their thankfulness.

Many people are great at helping others, but are to slow to receive help from others. This denies the recipcal relationship of thanksgiving. It takes two people. The giver and the receiver. Be sure this Thanksgiving, to also be a good receiver.

Being a good receiver can look like...
- Acknowledging someone else's thankfulness
- Reflecting back why that person is thankful for you
- Writing a short note back about what it meant to you to be appreciated

How else can you be a good receiver? Please leave a comment and let me know.
