Romantic / Cute “Thinking Of You” Messages

You shouldn’t wait until Valentine’s Day to let your partner know how much they mean to you.

If you want to level up the romance between you and your loved one, a super easy way to spice up the relationship is to leave thinking-of-you notes in a place where you know they’ll find it.

For example, put one in their lunchbox or slip it into the pile of mail. Or, deliver a bouquet of flowers to him or her with one of these short messages written on the gift tag.

To make it even easier (and more accessible to them), send them a spontaneous text to let them know that they’re on your mind. This is especially perfect if you want to be flirtatious or if you’re still dating/courting.

Here are some amazing message ideas for both notes and texts:

1. You’ve been on my mind and my mind has been on you…
   
   
2. My coworkers think I’m crazy. Thinking about you makes me smile, and I’ve been doing that all day.
   
   
3. Keeping it real with you, you’re all I think about lately. It’s like your picture is imprinted on my brain cells.
   
   
4. Even though we’re miles apart, my mind, soul, and spirit lie with you.
   
   
5. Anytime I think about the intimate moments we share, I become the happiest person in the room.
   
   
6. A huge smile spreads across my face every time I think about how fate brought us together.
   
   
7. I miss having you in my arms, and I hope you miss being in them too.
   
   
8. I’m 35,000 feet up in the air, and all I can think about is your gorgeous smile. (<— perfect to send while traveling *instant butterflies!!*)
   
   
9. We make a perfect duo. You and I are like peanut butter and jelly- good separately but exceptional together.
   
   
10. Roses are red, violets are blue, and being without you, it just ain’t cute.

Thinking Of You Condolence Messages

Going through a loss is difficult. Oftentimes, people don’t know what to say so it can be awkward and filled with silence.

Even though the important thing is to be there, here’s how to pen a few words on a condolence card if you wish.

• Be Solemn
  This usually depends on the recipient’s personality and the immediate situation. Some grieving people prefer to find things to laugh at or people to laugh with, but if you aren’t sure this is the case, it is best to maintain a sober, solemn tone. This way, there’ll be fewer chances of offending them.
• Express your love
  How did the deceased impact you? Talk about what the person meant to you and how much you love them. It’ll bring you both some comfort.
• Don’t tell the person how to feel
  People grieve differently. Let them follow their process. Just gently remind them that you’re there whenever they need you. That’s the best consolation gift that you can give in a time of grief.

Here’s an example:

12. Dear Nolan,
    It is with heartfelt sorrow that I’m writing this. Kindly accept my deepest sympathies during this time of loss. Kierra was a beautiful soul and a wonderful person who lived a remarkable life. She touched our lives, and now we are left with fond memories and a huge hole in our hearts. May her soul rest in peace. I know that it’s tough right now, but I need you to understand that I’m thinking of you. You are not alone. I am just a phone call away, ready to be at your side at a moment’s notice.

Thinking Of You Messages for Colleagues

Do you have a colleague at work that you get along with splendidly?

When she is ill.. Or he is going through a difficult time… Or they took an unexpected day off.
No matter the scenario, a brief authentic note that shows that you noticed their absence is likely to lift their spirits and strengthen your interpersonal relationship.

Here are three tips for writing a heartfelt, more personal message to a coworker.

• Incorporate an inside joke. A joke that only the two of you understand helps to break the ice.
• Demonstrate sympathy. You may not understand how your colleague feels, but you’ll want them to know that you care.
• Make a statement of why you miss them. This helps your colleague recognize their impact and gain confidence in their value to the team.

Following these guidelines, here is an example:

62. Hey Tolu! I can’t believe you were right about who would win the Sunday Night game. I hope you had the time to watch it. I heard you were out sick. I wish you a quick recovery. The office is less fun without you. You’re in our thoughts and prayers. The rest of the team sends their warmest wishes.
