Maybe we wouldn't need to wait until the next family get-together. Maybe we could send each other affirming emails. I'll have to give this some thought.Julie Merrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535352710739104399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552170607010033527.post-79783029196136413692014-01-05T21:01:44.308-08:002014-01-05T21:01:44.308-08:00What a great tradition.

I made a vow then and there that when something goes through my mind, that speaks of a great value I perceive in another, I will tell them by mail, phone, email whatever it takes to get a hold of them right then. You are so wise, Chris, in creating this new endeavor. Taking others for granted is one of the greatest mistakes we can make.CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285667433095434961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552170607010033527.post-77756785834880715352014-01-03T13:45:21.781-08:002014-01-03T13:45:21.781-08:00Yeah, we all do a lot of joking and teasing as wel...Yeah, we all do a lot of joking and teasing as well.

While this can be fun, it can also cause hurt, and it's probably masking some deep rooted problems. I think my family and I could really benefit from doing this. Like your niece said, the thought of it, does make me feel awkward, and it's sad that we are conditioned to feel this way. If more people took part in traditions like your family's, maybe we can change that?
