Читать книгу Say It Now - Sherry Richert Belul - Страница 10
ОглавлениеLet’s get started! Inside this book, you’ll find thirty-three creative gift ideas. It’s okay if you’re not a particularly artsy or crafty person. Most of these gift ideas don’t require any special skills. Just choose any gift idea that appeals to you. Try it out. In doing so, you’ll create a moment of light for someone else—and for yourself, too.
I titled this book Say It Now because it’s so important to express our feelings now—not someday later. Many people have a tendency to procrastinate and push things into the future. We think, “I’ll plan a fun date night…next week.” Or, “I’ll call Mom to say hi…tomorrow.” But life is brief and precious and full of unexpected (and sometimes tragic) twists of fate. Tomorrow might be one day too late.
So if there’s something you want to say—“I love you,” “I appreciate you,” “Thank you for everything,” “You amaze me,” “I’m grateful we’re friends”—I’m urging you to say it now, as soon as possible.
As you’ll see throughout this book, you can “say it now” in a literal way—with a written note or a list of reasons why you love someone. Or you can “say it now” through your actions rather than your words—accompanying someone to their chemo appointment, for example, or showing up at their door with flowers.
Whether you’re expressing yourself through your words, through your actions, or both, it doesn’t matter. The point is to find a way to say it that feels right for you and the person you love.
Listen to what’s in your heart about why you love this person—and say it.
I hope this book inspires you to celebrate life every day—with words, with cake, with sparklers, with music, with a tender moment spent with someone you love, or with sitting in silence and perhaps doing nothing at all.
To life!
