Church was so great today, one thing I always love about church is that it always seems to be exactly what I needed that week. This week was no different, nothing awe inspiring necessarily but such a good feeling and I enjoyed each meeting. During sacrament we listened to our two Bishopbric counselors speak and they were just fantastic. One spoke about setting goals for the new year and gave some suggestions. There were several that I intend on implementing, but then he suggested beginning to develope an attitude of gratitude. He suggested writing thank you notes for the people that do kind things for you and randoms notes of kindness. You know how you can sometimes feel depressed in sacrament meeting because you know that you need to work whatever the talk topic is about? Well, let me just say that inside I was shouting, "I DO THIS! I'M A GREAT THANK YOU WRITER!" and I send "just because mail" all the time! Like I said, not really trying to brag here, it just felt good to know that this is already a huge aspect of my life, and I love it. I love saying thank you, I am just so grateful for everything, so overwhelmed at the blessings that are mine. With that said, I had my kids write their Christmas thank yous this afternoon because I knew the next few days will fly by and then we're back to the grind, bleh, I'm not ready.
So of course I sat with them and wrote out my own pile and will you just look at all this good mail!
I'm so excited to put it in the box with the flag up. Don't you think it makes the post man smile to see that much good mail? If I were a postman it would make me happy. **As a side note, I'm not going to call it "just because mail" any more, it's now going to be referred to as Random Notes of Kindness, I love the play on the Random Acts of Kindess phrase and it just sounds so much cuter. RNK from now on.
