I bought a plate awhile back that says “You are special today” around the rim.  We actually use it quite a lot.  You are supposed to pull it out on birthdays and special days, but I find that folks need to know they are special more often than that.  If someone has had a rough day, they are likely to find it at their place setting.  Guests are pretty special as well.  And, of course, that is the “just because” reason.

I highly recommend the “special” plate, but you could get creative and make your own or just buy an outrageously pretty plate and make that your family’s special plate.

Appreciation can make a day, even change a life.  Margaret Cousins
