The Rules!
Posted by thankfullyyours on November 27, 2007
It seems like as I am driving into work lately, I have been hashing through the nitty-gritty details of the resolution. Such as: Does an email thank-you count? Can I thank the sun for shining? Can I thank my husband once a month at least for being so wonderful?
Answer: No. This project is designed to connect with people not inatimate objects and in a personal way, hence the old-fashioned hand written letter. Also, it seems like cheating to thank someone more than once, doesn’t it?
Here are the rules as they have accumulated thus far:
Resolution Rules
2. Not necessarily 1 per day
3. Only one thank you per person
4. No work thank you notes (letters you are required to write as part of your job)
5. No back-handed thank-yous (i.e. thanks for not messing up the country more)
6. No sappy thank yous looking for something in return
7. Handwritten only, no email thank yous

I agree with the “No Email Thank You’s” rule. Emails are not as warm and personal and take so much less effort. I love your 365 Challenge. Love it. Good luck. I’ll be watching your progress.

Interesting concept. I think I might try to do this with you.
