A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic and Challenge...

"Give honest and sincere appreciation."

Dale Carnegie's' 2nd Human Relation Principle

In the U.S., this week marks our Thanksgiving holiday. In spite of all the pre-holiday sales, anticipation of the arrival of Santa, traveling, eating Turkey, drinking and watching football, the center of this holiday is thankfulness. Or is it?

I don't think Dale Carnegie thought that one should wait for Thanksgiving to "Give honest and sincere appreciation", but that it should be done on a daily/weekly basis. If you have gotten away from this practice (like I have), this Thanksgiving could be the perfect time to start up again!

My challenge for myself is to not only think about those who have helped me, caught me, taught me, believed in me, re framed things for me, showed me, etc. but to take the time and "Give honest and sincere appreciation!" Anybody care to join me in this challenge?

Wishing you a most beautiful day, wherever this may find you!
