Next week is Thinking of You Week. I don't know about you, but when I think of "thinking of you" cards, I think of more sorrowful occasions, sympathy and sickness.
But really, "thinking of you" can be for so many more reasons, not just sorrowful ones:
- thank you (someone who was nice to you, went out of their way, neighborly, etc)
- silly National Holidays
- a
friend you haven't seen in a while
- a friend you just saw and you want to let them know how much you enjoyed your visit
- checking in on a child to see how school is going
- a college student needing a hello from home
- someone who lives alone
- just because/surprise card
- great job on X
- milestones
- someone who makes a difference to others (or you)
- there are hundreds of reasons to send a card that are not birthday or holiday
From www.thinkingofyouweekusa.com:
With the events of the last couple of years, many people have discovered, or rediscovered, the pleasure and comfort that greeting cards and hand-written notes can
bring as a way of keeping in touch with friends and family. Scientists have studied people’s brains as they open a piece of hand-written personal mail and observed how the pleasure waves just light up!
Thinking of You Week is an international movement to celebrate the joy of sending and receiving hand-written notes and greeting cards.
Between September 19-25, 2022 help us create a wave of happiness across the globe by letting people know that we’re “Thinking of You”.
Thinking
of You Week is all about the personal touch!
Thank you Val for pointing out this week & site to me!
