Moments that warm the heart: Telling a friend over the phone that you’re sick with a cold and her appearing minutes later at your doorstep with a homemade cold remedy of ginger, honey, and lemon. Getting birthday cards from people who are oceans away and could easily have just sent an email or posted a facebook message.  In this digital age, there is no email or tweet or facebook wall post in the world that—no matter how well-written it is—would not have double the meaningfulness if it was hand-written and sent by snail mail. Walking into a junior high classroom to find the above message from the students on the blackboard.  I got a great picture of me with the class standing in front of the blackboard, too, but I’m not legally allowed to post it online, so just know that it exists, and it’s adorable.
