This morning, I took out a little box of notes I've saved over the years. They are from people who have known me at radically different times and situations in my life. Some of the authors are still friends; other have faded out of my life. One author even went Home.
These notes of encouragement help me to remember who I want to be, even if I don't feel like that person right now. They admonish me to stay dedicated to G-d, relationships, and purposes of redemption in this world. They remind me to foster the gift of comforting and listening, even when I'm busy. They compel me to persevere.
Their words have power, and they 'just' encourage me.
