June is often a time when think about the school year and thank those people who have looked after our us, our children or acknowledge coworkers and friends who have had a special place in our day to day life. Taking the time to formulate an email is a nice touch and thank you cards are a welcome surprise among the junk mail. It simply feels good writing and receiving notes no matter how old you are! Thank-you notes are a lost art. We live in the days of oversimplified communication, acronyms and abbreviations for everything, and emojis for everything else. Pull out some paper and get creative. A written note is proof on the page. The root of happiness is gratitude, but the tricky thing about thankfulness is that it only exists in the act; nobody knows you’re thankful unless you say so. When you write it down, everybody knows how you feel. They show intent. A handwritten note says you unplugged from technology, set aside time, and returned to the most basic tools of written communication: pen and paper. There’s something beautifully intentional in a written note. They’re fun to receive. Think about it: in a giant pile of window envelopes with bills and junk, your name on a colorful envelope catches your eye. How fun it is to receive a pocketful of sunshine in your very own mailbox. It’s so easy to give that gift to someone else. Handwriting is an extension of a person. Have you ever happened onto a letter written long ago? It’s a time capsule of the writer’s handwriting, message, voice, and even a good measure of their spirit. Even if it’s scrawled and messy, your handwriting is part of who you are. Here are some tips to make it a habit:
