I know you’re busy. I know you could use a real break. And
it’s not just our hands that are busy. Our minds are busy with thoughts of
planning and preparing and making lists and wondering and… well, we all
could use a break, couldn’t we?
People don’t need to be in a crisis situation to appreciate
a thinking of you note. Everyone you know is busy in some way. And everyone
likes to be appreciated for the efforts they have made.
Went to a friend’s house the other night to meet with our
knitting group: Thanks for hosting! Your home is warm and welcoming and the
treats you made – delish! (Who wouldn’t want to hear that?)
Another friend has a heavy workload plus has tended to
unending family commitments: Thinking of you and praying your schedule will
settle down some now – so you can stop and smell the roses (or coffee!... or
wine!)
What about an adult child out on their own: I love you lots!
Or do you think a grandchild would get a kick out of a snail mail card? (you might even get brought in for
show-n-tell!)
What about the friend overloaded with month-end reports. And
the friend doing the pick-up and drop-off driving: You are appreciated!
When was the last time you put a love note in a lunchbox? Or
on a pillow? What if you sent a note right to someone’s workplace? Can you
imagine the smile break from that?
It makes me smile
to think of all the smiles we could generate. Go on! In the same amount of time
that it takes to watch three political ads on TV, you can grab a card, write a
sentence, address and stamp an envelope. Send a much deserved smile break to
____________ (who comes to mind first?).
- You did a great job! Appreciate your efforts!
- Feeling mighty grateful… to call you friend!
- Counting my blessings – and of course you came to mind!
