It feels good to know that something you’ve done is appreciated. Often we do things for others out of habit because it seems like the right thing to do, or because a colleague or neighbor needs a helping hand. Of course, those roles can be reversed and we can find ourselves at the receiving end of that useful advice, suggestion, or favor. In those cases, it can feel good to let the person know that their efforts are appreciated.
