As I was driving home tonight, my mind started to drift to thoughts about some of my very close friends. And I found myself thinking about all the reasons why I love being around them, some of these reasons are their generosity, their gracious hospitality, how much we laugh when we're all together, and a general sense of safety and comfort.
Then I started to think, what do people appreciate about me? Now I'm not looking for compliments, actually my point is the exact opposite.... although compliments are wonderful. My point is this, I want to people to know what I think about them.
The few times in my life when people whom I cherish, have taken the time to share their thoughts about me, have been some of the most meaningful moments that I can recall. So with that said, today I am creating the intention to weekly share my own gratitude for the love and support that my family and friends offer me, simply by telling them, so that they know that I appreciate and value their presence in my life.
Chew on this…
What would it feel like if you were to randomly receive a hand written letter or an email from a good friend, telling you why he or she enjoys having you in their life?
If it’s sometimes difficult to say what you are feeling, what form of expression will serve you the best?
How will you feel once you have shared your thoughts?
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend,
Talia
