Being remembered. Receiving a short note. Being greeted over the phone. Being included in a photo album. Being given a surprise birthday party. It could be anywhere. It could be anything. The smallest things matter, because it is the thought that really counts.
To see that a person has kept a previous letter, or a souvenir from one of your journeys together brings gladness. To know that a word you’ve said has guided a person’s life and has been kept sweetly in her heart is heaven.
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.

Hi Joy .. and especially the elderly – they love hearing from people .. a note, a bit of information, just that letter dropping through the door – gives so much pleasure and remembrances for them.
Keep writing notes to loved ones .. a simple gift of thought and can be done in a short space of time .. a stimulation, an inspiration to look at others things around their lives ..
Thanks Hilary
