Count The Blessings That YOU Have Been To Others

     An often heard, famous quote is ~ "Count your blessings," in other words, all for which one is thankful.

     Equally as important as what comes in to you is what you send or give to others, whether people, places, plants, animals, insects, buildings and all matter of "things."

     In both my office and in personal files I long ago established Pink File folders labeled ~ ~
     ~Nice Letters For Discouraging Days~ 
 
     Recently, while belatedly doing long overdue filing, I encountered many lovely, loving thank you cards to add to my personal Pink File Folder.  Within the folder were numerous others that were out of my current realm of consciousness.
 
     While so engaged, I realized the many merits of everyone having a Pink File that contains letters, cards and notes all thanking for a thoughtful gift or a thoughtful something that had been given or done.
 
     Also, when someone unexpectedly compliments with special words, neatly write it with the date, then put that in the folder.
 
     When reading the contents of my Pink Folder, I found that I was repeatedly saying to myself "That was nice of me," and glad that I had obviously been a blessing to that person. 
 
     A Pink Folder triggers good memories of people and places, always important at any stage of one's life.
 
     'Your Pink Folder is just for you, so keep it in an out-of-the-way place, but do the kindnesses that will generate written thank you's to add to your folder.
 
     ~Count The Blessings That YOU Have Been To Others~
