Aptitude of Gratitude

Gratitude…. How often do we express our gratitude towards something these days? We do, but usually it becomes a mental afterthought and gets lost in a rush of the day. Usually something really awesome must happen for us to feel so great to express it aloud, to let it be known by others. I believe that expressing Gratitude is an essential element to make our world a happier place. Yes, expressing gratitude even for very little insignificant things. Not only it makes YOU feel happier, even to the point of goose bumps, but it makes a Day for another person. Feeling noticed and appreciated is a necessary injection of positive energy to get inspired for a greater good down the road and make the world go around in a little happier pace. Have you ever felt that giving gifts feels just as good as receiving them? Receiving an expression of Gratitude is like receiving a gift. At least that’s how it feels to me.

Here is what led me to this thought provoking post. Just a few days ago I have received a phone call and then an email from one of our very loyal for many years and very valued customer. She did take the time out of her busy day to express to me how grateful she feels about our customer service, attention to detail and personal touch. THAT MADE MY DAY!! Not even a day, a week, or even longer. Every time I think about it, it puts a smile on my face and makes me want to do even better things for our customers. The unexpected little things. Being an online business, we don’t get a chance to meet our customers in person, get feedback and ask for suggestions, so it’s all mostly a guess work. But I wish we could have a better communication. Doing little extra fun things for our customers is our expression of Gratitude for sticking with us, loving and loyally using our products. I personally write those thank you cards because I want to. I am never too busy for that. Sweetsation Therapy is my child of almost 8 years now and every time I get complimented on something we did right, it’s like a mother getting praise for her child’s achievements at school. It feels that good.

On this note, I want to express MY Gratitude to all our customers for all your support over the years. Your love and support is the key to our success. Please don’t be shy and email me with any questions or ideas. I love hearing from you and respond to personal emails personally.

Grateful heart is a Magnet for Miracles…….
