Handwritten Notes. A Thing of the Past?

Sep 16, 2013 | Life Notes

 

Thank You

Thank You

In the past week or so, I received four thank you cards in snail mail. It was such a pleasure to open those handwritten notes and read the sweet comments. It made my day!

My mom was the best at sending cards. She remembered every occasion for people and never failed to send a card. At times, she sent cards just because she wanted to encourage someone. I wish I was more like her. I’m afraid I fit in today’s norm.

The cards I received were a reminder to me to not forget that the small things in life (like sending a card) sometimes make such an impact on people’s life. I think I need to start sending handwritten cards more often. I want people to open their mailbox and be encouraged like I was.

 I keep the cards I receive in a box (My Happy Box), and on some days, I read them all over again and think of the people who took the time to send a note. Call me crazy, but I still have birthday cards from my childhood, graduation cards, wedding, and cards at the birth of my children. And yes, I still love to read them.

 Just my thoughts for today.
