I read an article today about the lost “art” of the hand-written thank you note.  With all of the e-mailing, texting, and instant messaging we have at our fingertips, it is easy to overlook the simple kindness of a hand-written note.  Today especially, it is like telling someone that they are worth your time and effort to take a few moments out of your busy day for a personal “Thank You”.

This got me thinking about how I used to regularly leave my daughters little love notes on their pillows for them to discover unexpectedly upon returning home from school or when turning in for the night.  They were always very excited to find those little notes, and they appreciated them so much, that they saved them and still have some of them on their ribbon boards and in “secret-special –hiding-spots” today.

I still send an occasional surprise note in their lunch box, which always makes them smile, and leave little pillow-messages once in a while.  But, I was trying to think of a way to liven things up a little with today’s handwritten note inspiration.  I thought of how much my girls enjoy receiving birthday and holiday cards in the mail, and I got an idea… this week, I am going to mail each one of them a “love note” sharing what I think is so uniquely wonderful about them.   I’m excited to send them their notes, and I know they will be thrilled to receive them!  Won’t you join me in sending your child a “Snail Mail Smile” this week?

Live Positively Fulfilled!
