"To be FREE is to be cared for, humanized, trusted, guided, driven by the good, named, self-regulated, charitable, enlightened, reasonable, self-directed, believed, incalculable, indispensable, open, advised, by equals who have neither the right nor wisdom nor virtue to command and control the course of our lives. To be FREE is to be at every moment, in every human exchange, given the opportunity to choose, to be counted on, requested, de-objectified, self-evaluated, individualized, appreciated, considered competent, self-authorized, respected, unencumbered, whole, informed, rewarded. It is, without pretense, and as a matter of fact, to be an essential contributor to our collective well-being, self-disciplined, secure, ennobled, collaborated with and enriched by the experience; then, just as it seems it could not get any better, ever grateful to be alive, to be uplifted, gifted, praised, supported, protected, cherished, defended, empowered, unconstrained, relieved, liberated, helped, accepted, strengthened, accommodated, exalted, dignified, committed to; like nothing else, to be built up, commended, distinguished, blessed, honored. That is freedom; that is justice; that is morality.”

A study in Psychological Science showed that writing a thank you letter both improves the giver’s happiness and put the writer in more positive spirits. That’s the power of gratitude!

While many thank-you letter writers get concerned about the exact words they use, it turns out that the recipients were simply touched at the warmth and thoughtfulness of the letter itself.

So, starting writing thank-you notes—and write them more often! It comes at very little cost and benefits everyone.
