Wednesday: Make someone's day, send a card or write a letter (& mail it).
One of the things I'm realizing as I'm going through this ordeal of cancer treatment is that it is REALLY nice when I go to the mailbox and pull out good mail (not just bills).
What I also realized was that I like to write letters. I have always had the intention of being a letter writer. So much so that I have drawers and drawers full of cute cards that I've picked up over the years, but somehow, even if I've managed to write a letter, more often than not it doesn't get sent (wrong mailing address, no stamps, gets hidden under a stack of other stuff, yadda' yadda' yadda') - we've all been there, right?
Well, this week, I opted to step away from the computer (especially Facebook), and write a couple of cards a day. I start out by addressing the envelopes and getting stamps on them; write even the briefest of notes (Thinking about you). Then make an intention to walk to the mailbox each day with letters in hand. (So far, so good).
We just don't spend the time these days to reach out like we used to. Sites like Facebook make it easy to catch up, but the thought that goes into a hand written note is just so nice, and it has the ability to make someone's day.
