My sister and I were taught at a very early age to write thank-you letters for birthday and Christmas gifts. We carefully copied addresses from our mom’s address book into our own pretty little books, and a new box of stationery(信箋,信封)was always among my gifts under the tree. We wrote our letters on December 26 at the latest every year. It was an important tradition in our home, and it has turned me into an avid(热情)thank-you-letter writer as an adult.
I still send a great deal of personal mail, and I am extremely interested in all of the trappings of letter writing: unique stamps, beautiful stationery, fountain pens(自来水笔). I feel a mad rush of satisfaction sticking a stamp on a carefully penned thank-you letter and sending it off in the mail.
Several years ago, I even sent my mom a thank-you letter to thank her for teaching me to count my blessings on paper. Sending letters of thanks out into the world has made me more grateful for the love, support and kindness I receive daily.
My father died when I was twenty-seven. Even then, I found comfort in writing letters of thanks for the gifts of words I received. At a time when all I wanted to do was retreat(退缩)into my own sadness, the act of giving thanks forced me to stay connected to the world and to the lives of the living.
And while it may seem unimportant, my belief in well-written thank-you letters has protected my popularity. Since real thank-you letters are extremely few and far between, my social graces(风度)are considered as a charming difference from other people, and my friends and family always seem truly moved by my efforts.
我姐姐和我在很小的时候就被教导为生日和圣诞礼物写感谢信。我们小心翼翼地把妈妈的地址簿上的地址复制到自己漂亮的小本子上,还有一盒新文具(信箋,信封)一直是我树下的礼物之一。我们最晚在每年的12月26日写信。这是我们家的一个重要传统,它把我变成了一个狂热的人(热情)感谢你成年后的写信人。
我仍然会寄很多私人信件,我对写信的所有装饰都非常感兴趣:独特的邮票、漂亮的文具、自来水笔(自来水笔). 我感到一种疯狂的满足感,在一封精心写好的感谢信上贴上邮票,然后邮寄出去。
几年前,我甚至给妈妈发了一封感谢信,感谢她教我在纸上数祝福。向世界发送感谢信让我更加感激每天收到的爱、支持和善意。
我27岁时父亲去世了。即便在那时,我还是在写感谢信中找到了安慰,感谢我收到的文字礼物。当时我只想撤退(退缩)在我自己的悲伤中,表达感谢的行为迫使我与世界和生活保持联系。
虽然这看起来不重要,但我相信写得很好的感谢信保护了我的人气。由于真正的感谢信很少,我的社交礼仪(风度)被认为是与其他人的迷人区别,我的朋友和家人似乎总是被我的努力深深打动。
