Let’s talk about Anxiety
I've always been anxious. I never wanted to be, I don't enjoy it, it's definitely not something I wake up in the morning and think...
Question of the Week
Are you good about RSVPs, and thank-you cards?
Ugh. I’m usually the last person to RSVP just under the deadline, and I’m completely wretched with thank-you cards. It’s a wonder anyone ever asks me anywhere, or sends me any gifts!
I am much better with the thank yous than the RSVPs, especially if they are by phone. I just really hate to talk on the phone…
I manage RSVP’s pretty well, thank you’s are abysmal. I try to remember, really I do, but then I turn around and it’s been two months and I feel like even more of a turd so I don’t write it still… and so on and so on.
I even RSVP when it says ‘regrets only’, just to make sure they know how excited I am about the invitation. I try to send thank you’s as soon as possible after receiving a gift. It’s easier if you don’t get a lot of invitations or gifts.
I always respond promptly to an invitation, and now that email is so acceptable a Thank You is really a no-brainer. Notes are harder, but a thank you email can go out right after the gift or party, while you are still excited about it. And if I took pictures at the party I send a few right away.
