Lcs has a stupid tradition (imho) of putting notes in envelops for other people during retreat. The notes are supposed to all us time express ideas or feelings to our other students. I think this is a bad idea. We should have our friends know how we feel about them by our actions not by some note that we write in under a minute. Now notes in themselves I have no problem with I have the problem that we set aside a time when they become expected someone people like to put more thought in things that a quick note. So if you wanted a note from me I am sorry it is just not something I do. I choose to give hugs so feel free to ask for one.

Some people are more eloquent in writing than others, so it's ok if you can't express yourself as well in writing.
However, note-writing IS an action in itself. If writing notes is a stupid idea, why write letters? Why give presents? Those gestures show someone that you care. Hey who knows, maybe those notes are genuine notes that weren't writtin in two seconds saying "you're cool," but rather notes that can really uplift someone when they're feeling down. So, is that note useless? no. Some people express better in words, some better with physical contact, but don't dismiss something as stupid just because it doesn't suit you.
lets be a bit more open minded.
