My mother instilled in me a helpful habit of always remembering to say thank you for others who did something for you, for your community, or your family. Whether it would be in the form of a thank you card, an email, or simply calling them up to say thank you.
As I write this, the United States (and the world, indeed) is caught up in the upswing of a global pandemic.
