Thanksgiving Greeting Cards | Gratitude Letters | Increases Happiness!

Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect on the what you are thankful in life. It is also a wonderful time to let the people you love know you are grateful for them!

Back in college, I took this Positive Psychology course. For one of our assignments, we had to write a gratitude letter to someone letting them know why we were thankful for them in a page-long physical letter. Studies have shown this can boost the letter receiver's happiness, but in turn boosts your own happiness even more than the letter receiver!

It may seem like a daunting task, however, the reward is priceless. What makes life so special are the people we get to share it with. To be able to let someone know in detail why you are so grateful for them is so unexpected and precious- knowing they have had such a positive effect on your life will truly bring pure joy to them and make their day as well!

So this Thanksgiving, I urge you to write a gratitude letter to a loved one, colleague, family member, or friend! Plus, the festive fall-themed Thanksgiving cards out there right now are so beautiful! It is hard to resist picking up one... or several of these up from your nearby stationery store or grocery store. The cards below are from Papyrus Cards - my absolute favorite!

Happy writing!
