The Power of Positive Thoughts

I work in a profession that has me interact with clients throughout the year.  After many years and hundreds of clients there are a few that stand out and really have moved from client to trusted colleague and friend.

One such person is S.  It is hard to believe I have known her for 13 years at this point and have been able to hear the stories as her daughters have grown from toddlers into young women.  She is one of those people who is easy to work with and whose name you are always happy to see across the caller id on the phone.

Recently I heard from S that she is going through a challenging time, and I told her I would be thinking of her and sending good thoughts.  

This got me thinking about the fact that I so often say to friends and family when they are having a either a happy but nerve-wracking time or a difficult time that I will be sending them good thoughts.  I have found so often that positive thoughts can make a difference.  I remember in particular one personal experience when I was just out of college and headed to take a big licensing exam.  My sister put a post-it on my bedroom door late at night, and when I woke early to head to the testing center her good luck wishes were the first thing I saw.  They set me on a positive path for the day.

With that in mind I have purchased a few post-it pads and am going to leave some notes around for strangers to find.  They will say things such as.....be kind, smile at a stranger, think happy thoughts, etc.

I hope these kind thoughts impact the lives of the finders.....inspire them to pay kindness forward......and create a huge amount of good thoughts back to S.
