I don’t see many of my loved ones
as often as I’d like.
I’m busy building my writing business
and they live far away.
In the past,
I would tell them,
during our weekly or monthly
hour or more long phone conversations,
I’ve been thinking about them.
But I suspect
they didn’t truly believe that.
So now,
I send them emails or messages
with that one quick line
– I’m thinking of you.
For some people,
I do this daily.
For other people,
I do this multiple times a day.
It takes 30 seconds
but they have physical ‘proof’,
something they can re-read,
can touch with their fingers.
Some of my loved ones
aren’t connected.
For them,
I have a stack of stamped post cards.
I send them the same quick message
– I’m thinking of you.
I sign my name,
address the post cards
and stick them in a mail box.
This has improved our relationships
tremendously.
They feel loved
even when I’m busy with the business building
and can’t spend much time
with them.
When you think of loved ones,
tell them.
