Back to school! Note in a lunch box - Is Twitter your note to your followers?

When school starts, and I pack my kid's lunches, I always finish them off with a special note to encourage them in the day.

For instance, with my youngest Kassie I did a bunch of K's that I think are special for her!

• K is for Kisses!
• K is for Krazy special -- for the special girl that you are!
• K is for Kind - be kind to your friends today -- for they are precious!

My kids say that it is a moment in the day -- among hard work, getting teased, and questioning their confidence --- that they pause to know that someone really cares for them!

As I was thinking about how my oldest daughter carefully folds and saves each note, I wondered how much we all need that encouragement.

• How could I place a "virtual note in each of my team's lunch box" ?
• What would it say?
• Would they appreciate it like my kids?
• And what would I want my note to say if someone left one for me!

But then I thought -- do we do this each day -- through Twitter?  For instance, when I share quotes or welcome the beautiful sunrise, is that the same?

Is that the new form of the lunch box note?

What do you think?
