Every week we receive e-mails, text messages and lots of junk mail but rarely do we get a handwritten note.  Feeling appreciated is one of the strongest of human desires and it’s so easy to do. There is warmth to a personal handwritten note that makes the receiver feel valued.  In this day and age it is rarer and therefore more special plus a handwritten note only cost about a dollar and yet it is priceless. Take the time to handwrite a note of gratitude to family members, a friend or someone you haven’t spoken to in a long time.  Taking a few minutes will show them that you care and they will appreciate the rarity of it. We need to get back in touch with some good old fashion thoughtfulness.  How many emails have you sent in the past week?  More to the point, when was the last time you handwrote a note of gratitude?  Someone needs to hear from you and your note will be kept and reread over and over again.   Do it today and you will be surprised at how good it makes you feel!
