\nLife coach Cheryl Richardson plays what she calls <\/strong>the thank you game <\/strong><\/a>this week on her blog.<\/strong> Here’s an excerpt:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Cheryl Richardson is encouraging people to play the thank you game this week. <\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe object of the “Thank You Game” is to find a creative and inexpensive way to thank or acknowledge those people in your life who often get overlooked.\u00a0 Here are ten examples of what you might do…
\n3. Speak to the boss of an administrative assistant who has provided you with exceptional care and let him or her know how great you were treated.
\n5. Bring a box of goodies to the post office, your local fire department, or police station, and let the employees know that you appreciate them. From what I’m told, they rarely get this kind of acknowledgment, and seeing the surprised look on their faces is so much fun!
\n6. Leave a larger than normal tip hidden under a cup for your favorite restaurant server.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Click through to Cheryl’s newsletter <\/a>if you want to see the other seven.
\nSeveral people have already used Facebook, Twitter and their blogs to express their gratitude as part of my Month of Thanksgiving contests — click here to see some examples<\/a>.<\/strong>
\nDo you want the chance to win a gratitude journal and some of my favorite things, including coffee, sweets and apples? Check out the details of the contests here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
