Put it in writing

I love to write by hand,  I enjoy making lists and writing in my journal.  Anytime I have an excuse to pull out a pen and some paper, I jump at the chance.  My most cherished possession is a gift bag full of letters that Adam wrote to me and I wrote to him.  He saved everyone from our dating days, and so did I.  After her passed away, I couldn’t sleep and pulled them out and read every single word in every single note, letter, card and scrap of paper.  I cried all the way through it I assure you.  But it helped to begin my healing.  It took me back to the days when he was healthy and strong and full of life.  I began moving away from the memories of his cancer ravaged body, to his muscular and toned body.  It also helped me to remember all the reasons I fell in love with him!  I still love to pull them out every now and then.  It makes my heart happy. 

I remember growing up my mom would put notes in my lunch box some days.  I loved getting those!  I do the same for my kids from time to time.  There is nothing more special than hand written notes from someone you love. 

Challenge:  Write something to some one you love today.  It can be a quick note, a letter, a card.  Anything with your  own handwriting.  It makes it personal and heart felt.  This is an easy one and doesn’t take much time.  I am sure whomever is on the receiving end of it will be blessed!
