Warm Retreat Fuzzies

I just looked in my bag of "warm fuzzies" from the HKSA beach retreat, and yes they actually do make you feel warm and fuzzy! I opened my bag to find 3 dozen little notes. They were all funny, and really sweet. I'm really glad we decided to do this and I hope many people liked it as well. In my previous blog, I mentioned that we had made each HKSA retreat guest a personalized paper bag with their photo and name on it. Over the weekend we encouraged everyone to write at least one nice note to everyone on this retreat.

I really love seeing everyone gather by the fireplace mantle as if it were Christmas, writing and stuffing notes into others, and peeking at their own bags as well. Most of my comments were about the success of the beach retreat, and my active role as president. I really loved each and every comment, and I wish I could have written more.

Here are a few of my favorite comments:

-Even if we couldn't light that fire on the beach, you always light the fire in our hearts, thanks for helping this trip turn out great!

-If you were a booger, I'd pick you!

-Hope you're having fun this weekend! Thanks for putting this together.

-There is so many things to say about how cool you are. If I had a chance I would probably write a book about you. The memories I have with you will always be priceless.
