appreciation sticky's.

This past weekend we spent some time with new friends who challenged us to leave surprise sticky notes showcasing our appreciation for each other. Hours fly by and days are fleeting - and when much of our time together is spent filling the other in on all that's going on, appreciative affirmations are not as common as they should be.

And to make the challenge a little more interesting - we each have a pack of post-it sticky's that we have to use up in 30 days. So, basically it's a competition of who can out-do the other in showing appreciation. Not a bad idea? We thought it was genius! You should totally try it - whether it's for a sibling, a parent, a roommate, a significant other, a co-worker, a husband or wife, or even a small child...whomever you feel you need to express your appreciation for, buy some post-it's, challenge yourself, and get sticky note crazy!

There are infinite reasons why I appreciate the Mr. in my life, but they don't always make it from my thoughts --> to my lips --> to his ears --> to his heart. Think about how different the world would be if we all knew how appreciated we were by the ones we love. Even if you don't dig the whole sticky note thing, try and be more mindful and vocal with expressing your appreciation - because when we lovingly give to others, we too, prosperously receive.
