The Note Writer's Philospohy
W. Garth Callaghan
THE NOTE WRITER’S PHILOSOPHY
1. IF YOU PACK A LUNCH FOR SOMEONE, INCLUDE A NOTE! EVERYONE ENJOYS A NOTE WITH THEIR LUNCH. 2. IF YOUR CHILD IS EATING, GIVE THEM A NAPKIN. USING A NAPKIN IS A SIGN OF GOOD TABLE MANNERS. 3. DEEP THOUGHTS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR A NAPKIN NOTE. SOMETIMES IT’S BETTER TO COMMUNICATE A SIMPLE THOUGHT OR IDEA. 4. WRITING A NAPKIN NOTE TELLS THE RECIPIENT THAT YOU WERE THINKING OF THEM. AND WHEN THEY READ IT, THEY’LL BE THINKING OF YOU. IT’S A GOOD CYCLE. 5. MAKE SOMEONE’S LUNCH FOR THEM. DON’T USE TOO MANY PRE-PREPARED GOODS. WASH AND CUT AND MIX AND WRAP IT YOURSELF. YOU’LL BE CONNECTED TO THE FOOD. YOU’LL BE CONNECTED TO WHAT YOUR CHILD EATS. 6. BUYING LUNCH IS THE LAST CHOICE. IT IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO INCLUDE A NOTE IF YOUR CHILD BUYS LUNCH AT SCHOOL. YOUR HOMEMADE LUNCH WILL ALSO TASTE BETTER AND BE A HEALTHIER CHOICE. 7. WRITE NOTES TO CHILDREN WHO CANNOT YET READ. IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY TO START. YOU CAN DRAW HEARTS AND STARS. YOU CAN USE BASIC WORDS THAT EXHIBIT YOUR FAMILY VALUES LIKE “LOVE” AND “HAPPY”. 8. YOU’RE NEVER TOO BUSY TO WRITE A NOTE. IT TAKES LESS THAN FIVE SECONDS TO WRITE OUT “I LOVE YOU!”
