The Grey

I recently saw the film ‘The Grey’ where a group of men find themselves lost in the wilderness after their plane crashed. The film effectively portrays the feeling of being isolated with just your own wits to survive, while also displaying the emotions that arise when faced with such an experience.

 It made me think how, being stripped of everything that represents security to us must be a frightening feeling, perhaps it’s a feeling that also resonates with people when they are first faced with a life threatening disease. However, if we can take something from these scenarios without having the misfortune of actually going through them ourselves, the key learning point is that the biggest single thing we have are the people in our lives. It is when these people are brought to the forefront of our minds in a situation described above that literally all else pales into insignificance, and it is in those people we have strongest feeling for where we find our deepest source of comfort.

 So my question to you is this…. If you were lost and alone in the wilderness, miles away from anyone, unsure when you might see anyone again, with nothing but a pen and paper; what would you write and who would you write it to?

 Whatever your message, I have no doubt that somewhere in there would be the 3 simple words ‘I Love You’. Whoever those people are, why not write them the note now?

A gift to say 'I Love You....with all my heart and soul'

 

What you say matters!

So often we let things pass us by without saying what we think. We may see something or hear something and it triggers a thought but how many times do we say what we're thinking?


While thinking of someone can generate warm feelings, it can make a huge difference if, just now and again, you let another person know that they came into your thoughts at that moment on that day, because, in so doing, you make them feel good too! Be it a text message, a card, an email, a phone call or a small gift, choose your method of communication but make the effort, because it takes something very little to mean something very big to the recipient.

...And while I'm on the subject of letting people know what you think, I ask that you spend a minute or two letting us know what you think of Bags of Goodness! While we happily keep going, it would be really useful if you gave us your honest feeedback about you like or what's missing at Bags of Goodness.

We know that what you say is important, not just to those you know and love but what you say to us matters too, so please, take a moment and look again at our website and tell us what we could do to make it even better! Consider our products, our prices and the website itself, including the concept of what Bags of Goodness is all about.

P.S. Please don't just tell us what you think we want to hear, compliments are always welcome but feedback of any kind works for us! Just be honest! Thanks!

Do it ...just because!
