Fighting Sadness With The 'Thinking of You' Board (DIY)

Whenever the thick blanket of sadness finds it's way over our heads, it's easy to forget that there are people out there who truly care about you, your success and your well-being. In your distress, you talk yourself into believing that out of all the people in this world, there is not one who thinks about you. Whelp, I'd hate to be the one to break it to you, but there is a high probability that you are wrong. Very wrong. And you probably have the evidence to prove it.

Have you ever found yourself so swamped with birthday, thinking of you, and 'You did it!' cards that you end up stacking them all together and stuffing them at the bottom of a drawer? Well, I'm here to give you a big, bold STOP. We are going to put those cards to use.

Most people have had at least one note, card or text that has genuinely made them smile. Sooooo instead of deleting, losing, trashing or even posting them on Instagram, maybe we should plaster them. On a board of course.

What You'll Need

Cards! You can also use notes, e-mails, text messages (printed, of course) or any written letters that put a smile on your face at one moment in your life. You may even want to use the envelops and stamps that came with them for special touch of decor.

Scissors, a blank canvas or picture frame, glue, tape and any type decoration you might want to add.

Now have some fun! This will not only be good and comforting reminder board for you to look at in the long run, but it will also be a relaxing and therapeutic process to endure as you cut, shape and read all the past "I thought of you" notes that have been stashed under your bed. While you're at it, you may want to add a few bible verses or bible 'inspired' verses.

 God's notes are always the best. He can't lie ;)

If you don't learn anything else from this project, understand how much value your words actually have. Take time to acknowledge that somewhere in your pool of family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors and co-workers is someone who is waiting to have a heart felt note, card or text sent to them. If only for a small moment of cheerfulness.

So if you are someone who does this...

Stop.
