Wishes ~

I really think that we should say “thank you” more often in your lives and of course, this includes saying thank you for the birthday wishes. Not only because this is considered “good manners” and the rules of etiquette require us to do that, not because our mothers have taught us so. For me, it just seems the right thing to do. I know that nowadays it often feels like the only reason you got a birthday wish at all is that the person has noticed your name in an upper right corner of his facebook page. And perhaps in many cases this is true. But I’m sure that there are also plenty of people who honestly wanted to wish you all the best on this special day and you should not force them into thinking that their congratulations went unnoticed, or that you care too little to write something back.
Instead you should take a minute to let them know that you appreciate their attention. I recieved 130 Birthday Wishes Today ~
