“A handwritten note is a whisper from the past to the present.” – Attributed to Charles Dickens
That quote gently sparked the following thoughts and words in my heart and mind.
In a world of texts and quick likes, there’s still something so powerful about a handwritten note. A simple “thank you,” a greeting card, or even a “just because” message dropped off or mailed — it can truly brighten someone’s entire day.
These gestures shouldn’t be a thing of the past. They should be part of how we live, love, and connect. I was taught that as a little girl — to take the time, to write the words, to make it personal. And all these years later, I still do it.
Start your children young with this simple but meaningful habit. Teach them to express kindness, gratitude, and thoughtfulness with pen and paper. It’s a gift that will stay with them — and bless others — for a lifetime.
Because kindness matters. Words matter. And a little note can go a long way.
Life in Words 
that’s what I get from my grandkids and great grandkids. All gramps wants for his birthday or Christmas is a drawn picture or note. You are so right about this!!
