As to letters? Yes, I have a few stashed away which I hope my family enjoy reading one day. I agree so much with what you say - let people know what they have meant to you. It's a little thing with big impact.
And thank you for another lovely quote which I must write in my journal. Happy day, Stella.
How beautiful, Stella. I agree. It's so important to tell others how much they matter to us. Writing it down is a gift to both the recipient and the writer. I have a few letters written to me, by patients and family members, thanking me for taking care of them. My favorite is just a small note written in shaky pencil handwriting on a scrap of paper. It was from a patient on a ventilator. I thought he was trying to tell me how I could make him more comfortable. It read: "happy valentines day you are sweet" People are resilient and kind in the most surprising ways sometimes. 💗
Oh, how precious, Ann! Thank you for sharing your patients' story. Beauty emerges in the most surprising ways- I love it. Resilience and kindness, two words that's been ruminating in my mind lately. And courage too. I'm inarticulate right now but something profound is emerging.
So beautiful, Stella! I think it is a wonderful tradition and it inspires me to start writing notes to some people. I think we all should tell each other more what we appreciate, even if it's only a very small gesture.

I'm sure they will, Prue. Sometimes, synchronicity happens and the quote appears at the right moment. You have a great day too!

I love that something good is coming, Stella. It's growing and ripening.🌱

Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks, Manuela. It’s the small things that matter indeed.
Such a lovely post, Stella - I'm so glad you shared these letters. Wonderful.
