Life as a Thank You – 7
Dear Marji, I decided to write an old-school note of gratitude each week in 2016. This is your turn. The difficult thing about these notes is they only say words that represent something much deeper than words can ever express. I could write a book about how much you mean to me, but this short…

Dear Susan, I drove home yesterday after a short weekend, but I left so full (as usual). Coming to see you (and your family) is always restorative for me. I decided in 2016 to write an old-school note of thanks each week and I felt this was a great opportunity to send you yours to…
