Welcome back to the Daily Gratitude Minute. This is Scott Colby. Thank you so much for joining me as I record this. It is November 9th, 2022, and I've set a goal to write one. Appreciation card, uh, in the month of November and in the month of December. So I'm gonna be writing a card every single day for two months.

And if you set a goal like this, you might wonder like, how do I know who to send a card to? I don't have that many people to appreciate, but in reality, you probably have more than enough people to appreciate if you really sit down and think about it. So, It can be a struggle to figure out who to write a car to, but let me just share with you a few people that I've written a car to.

In the past week I wrote a card to my veterinarian who always takes really good care of my cat Mia, and uh, I really appreciate her kindness and. Looking after Mia's best interest and making her feel as comfortable as possible. I sent a card to my friend John and Lauren, who let me stay at their place, uh, overnight in Wisconsin, in Milwaukee, while I was traveling on my way back from a speaking gig in Wisconsin.

I sent a card to my friend Geoff, who, uh, I'd met online. He's a fellow speaker. He lives in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and when I spoke in Spokane in September, he made the 40 minute drive to see me speak, and then he invited me to see him speak and also gave me some pointers on how I could engage with the. Uh, so I really appreciate that.

Um, and then lastly, I recently wrote a card to a woman named Lauren who saw me deliver a breakout session in my, um, conference I went to in Wisconsin. And she just sent me an email saying how much she enjoyed, uh, my session. So being a guy who is appreciation language is words of affirmation, I really appreciated her kind words.

And I wanted to let her know that. So those are just a few examples of who I've written cards to. Uh, in reality, you can write cards to people for any reason. It doesn't have to be somebody that's done something for you. You could just appreciate a friend and tell them how much you love about them. Or it could be somebody that is not a friend, but just you've seen or had an engagement with them in passing such as.

Your barista at your local coffee shop. Maybe they asked you how your day was. Maybe they smiled at you, and just let them know how much you appreciated that. So plenty of people to write cards too. I'm enjoying the process of writing these daily cards. Maybe it's a habit you wanna pick up. If you do, would love to know about it.

You can always send me an [email protected] or uh, DM on Instagram, Scott Col. Hope this helps you get those cards out in the mail. I'm Scott Colby with Sat With Gratitude and this has been the Daily Gratitude Minute. Cheers.
