Love Notes

Here is what is up on my dry erase board in the kitchen:

"Who is the wonderful person who straightened out the videos and made them look so nice?
Thank you!"

It's one of my children, I'm sure.

How do you think it will make that child feel?
How will this make them feel about doing things for me in the future?
What does this tell them about doing things without being asked?
How do you feel when someone expresses gratitude for something you've done, especially if you were thoughtful enough to do it without being asked?

Try it yourself. Write a note to a spouse, a friend, a child, and thank them or compliment them. This small thing can start a wonderful ripple effect of kindness and goodwill within your family.
