I am not really sure how or when to respond when I receive a heart from an anonymous source. I am very grateful and humbled when they present on but not sure if I should respond to each one or wait until the end of the day. Is there proper or long standing etiquette to guide us?
Thank you to those who have already sent hearts.

(1,972 posts)I started a thread in the Lounge after the first one, but felt a little silly doing it again.

(42,871 posts)Although it is nice to either start a "thanks for hearts" thread or to join in on one....givers get pleasure in the giving, not the gratitude. (At least from my experience)

(55,825 posts)Some people don't like all the the thank you posts cluttering up things.
Others really like to see the thank you posts and people like posting them.
I think people should do what they want.
But yes piggybacking on other thank you posts is an idea.

(91,935 posts)But I have a whole lot more hearts added since then so I'll probably start a thread at some point.
But until then, thank you to all who gave me hearts, I cherish every single one!

And thank you, Bev54, for bringing this up. I wasnt sure whether to start another thank you thread since there are so many and just wasnt sure of the best way to handle it.

(43,072 posts)I love Valentine Week. I love giving them, and looking for names I might have just let slip by in ordinary times. Oh! I like them! They deserve a heart. And I like seeking out those who are new or dont have any yet. Its fun to imagine them smiling.
DU at its best.

(12,087 posts)Sometimes I hint I am spreading some love, but the whole thing is so easy to do and fun to receive--especially after so much indoor time away from social events (for me, at least).
I will happily express thanks to all who have perked me up with hearts! Thank you.

(13,200 posts)and dont expect to be thanked because they are anonymous. I specifically gave several to a person who brightens my Sunday mornings for years with laughter, pictures and cartoons, but the others went to folks who caught my attention with a post.
