Note to self: Write about yesterday’s therapy group, when people sent letters to themselves starting with “Dear (your name here)” and ending with “Love, (your name here).”
Note to self: It can be very healing for people to send themselves important messages with love.
Here’s my note (or letter) to myself for today:
Dear Ann,
Remember to balance other people’s needs with your needs. And stop mindlessly snacking on popcorn and sunflower seeds to distract yourself.
Love,
Ann
Note to self: Share the images for today.
Note to self: In my groups today, do that mindfulness exercise where people hug themselves, in honor of National Hugging Day.
(Note to self: Make sure you have the date right before you publish your blog post. )
Note to self: look for a YouTube video of 97-year-old pianist Ruth Slenczynska.
Note to self: express gratitude to all who help me create this daily blog, including YOU.
The ultimate note to self: Dear Self, Love self!
Dear Peter,
You’re the best.
Love,
Ann
You must not use that sink much. Would Joan get in there if it were wet? It just looks like a cozy spot and she must be able to warm it up quickly.
We don’t use that sink much, partly out of respect for Joan!
Congratulations and compliments to Ruth Slenczynska.
Isn’t she amazing?!
What a wonderfully uplifting blog! I love the dog one — I’ll have to share that one around!
Dear Claudia,
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Love,
Ann
note to self: never stop sending notes to self.
Thanks for your alway beautiful notes!
When I first went to summer camp, right after we arrived, the counselors had us sit down and write a letter to ourselves about what we hoped camp would be like. It was a great exercise. I think we all owe ourselves an occasional letter.
Dear Chris,
Thanks for sharing that.
Love,
Ann
Note to self: Borrow the Pema Chodron book from the library!
Dear Debra,
It’s a great book!
Love,
Ann
Mark, Hope with all your might to appreciate in real life a child and dog smiling side-by-side like Ann got to capture with her phone camera! Mark
Dear Mark,
Wouldn’t that be wonderful!
Love,
Ann
