A Nice Gesture
It’s so nice having our blog back up and running and it feels like an eternity since I lasted posted something. While our blog was out of commission I thought of at least a half dozen subjects I wanted to blog on, which I will someday soon. In the meantime I would like to share with you a really nice thing that happened yesterday. In yesterday’s mail for me was a pretty pink envelope. Now I normal receive large brown envelops or magazines or boxes of promotional materials so this caught my eye right away. Inside the envelope was a thank you card from Doris Etienne, the author of The Jewels of Sofia Tate. Now you might be asking yourself why this is blog worthy but today when emailing and texting are the most common form of communication it’s refreshing to receiving a handwritten note. It’s nice that someone took some time out of their busy schedule to write a letter. In light of this I’m throwing out a challenge – the next time you’re about to post a thank you or a Happy Birthday on somebody’s Facebook wall take a minute and send them a card instead.

You are right Erin, the feeling is different when You touch the envelop and see the handwriting, you have a feeling that you are special or sort of
You make me think about it and I will find some free time to write a letter to some of my friends:)
