Handwritten Notes

Never underestimate what a hand written note can do for someone. I was lucky enough to have parents who consistently encouraged me not only with words but also in writing. I’m not sure what I did on this day to receive this note, but I still cherish it.

It’s great to have memories of your mom and dad, and it’s even better to have their remembrances in writing. If you are a mother or a father, I suggest that you consider writing your children congratulatory notes from time to time when they are earned. It’s a powerful way to show your love.

And if you’re not a mother or a father, I am sure there is a sibling or a friend that would experience the same love from a personal congratulatory note similar to this.

 

November 13, 2023 Update: I originally published this in July of 2021. I think it's an important idea and apparently someone else did also...

Congratulations to my friend and fellow author, Tracy Willis Gates on her new publication!  This book is an excellent way to strengthen your gratitude. As you already know, I am a huge believer in hand written notes.
