In the birthday letter we talk about the following:
- What we see most in her in terms of CHARACTER development
- What we've observed about what she's becoming an EXPERT in
- All the ways we've seen her be BRAVE
- Our favorite thing about her unique PERSONALITY
- Something she TEACHES the family
I'm so happy with my letter to her that I consider writing a letter to myself. What's happening with my character? Am I growing in competencies in certain areas? Was I brave this year? Is there something about me people love most? Am I teaching people things?
At the start of a new year, why not consider these questions?
I'm seriously thinking about writing letters to my friends to encourage them, too. It just seems like a cool thing to do. We could reread them on the days we feel terrible.
Meanwhile, Happy Birthday to my sweet, sweet daughter.
