That’s how many characters I can send in one text. (20 more than a tweet!) My sister Jessie and I have a “feel good” sort of thing going right now. We came up with it during a girls’ night (so normally it’d be top secret), but I’ll let you in on what we’re doing. (I’m so nice.)
Every day, both of us will text the other something nice… anything nice, but it always includes “I love you and…” Here are some examples from the past week.
- “I love you and your beautiful eyes.”
- “I love you and your beautiful singing voice.”
- “I love you and your luscious long hair.”
- “I love you and admire your guts.”
- “I love you and think you’re an awesome bottle washer.”
- “I love you and your luscious long legs.”
- “I love you and your deep brown eyes.”
- “I love you and your smokin’ hot booty.”
- “I love you and how nice you were this morning.”
Now, it’s just a little thing – you’ll notice that all of these things are LESS than 160 characters. I actually think they’re less than 140. (So you could send them in tweets too!) But what a great way to have a connection with your sister! It takes about 10 seconds – more like 60 if you text like my dad – and makes you both smile. Don’t you think it’s worth your time?
Today, I’m issuing a little challenge… well, more like throwing down the gauntlet. Yeah, that’s right. Throwing down the freaking gauntlet.
Text someone. Think of someone you care about, and let them know. It’s easy – you could even copy one of our examples. (Use the “luscious legs” text judiciously please. And the “smokin’ hot booty” should only be used for those people that you are super close too. Trust me.)
Oh? And before all the rest of my siblings start being sad that this is a Jessie/Leila thing – I texted you this morning. Because I love you all too. And your luscious legs.
