FreeStuffEngine.com - Thanksgiving Mail By Devlyn Steele

Life Coach Advice

As we rush through our lives to unknown places, we forget many of the things that bring value to our lives. With how many friends have you lost touch? When was the last time you appreciated the people in your life and told them?

In today?s world with phones, cell phones, Instant messaging and email, we are so in touch that we are out of touch. Communication is so high-speed that it can speed right by us. There?s a huge difference between getting an email and getting a card. When you take the time to go to a card shop, pick a card, write something in it and mail it, you are really showing someone that he or she counts. It wasn?t easy nor was it quick; it showed you cared. It?s also amazing.

There?s something special about getting a card in the mail. It?s like a surprise that took time to arrive. The value seems to grow as it travels through the mail system. Through rain, snow or sleet there are people working to get you that card. A whole system and country seems to be behind the card getting to you, all the way back to the days of the old west, when the pony express raced across the countryside, risking life and safety to bring you that card.

Yes, a card is special, and at this time of Thanksgiving we should slow down and decide to really be thankful for those who bring meaning to our lives. This Thanksgiving, let?s think about the people whom we are thankful for and let them know. Take the time and go card shopping. Buy as many cards as you can think of people to whom you should send them, even to people you know only casually for it would be fun to brighten their day. Then, actually add to the card by writing something yourself. Don?t create pressure on yourself, it as easy as just saying, ?I wanted you to know this Thanksgiving how thankful I am that you are part of my life.?

Even if you are married or live with someone, mail them a card. It will really mean something when it comes through the mail, and to the person in your life when they get it. Don?t tell people you sent them a card. Let it be a surprise and enjoy the impact. They will know that they are important, and they will feel special, and you will feel good about it. As John Donne put it, ?Sir, more than kisses, letters mingle souls. For thus friends absent speak.?

At the end of the day, it?s not what we have but whom we have to share life with that counts. So let?s be thankful about the people in our lives with Thanksgiving mail.
