Day 19 - A Real Letter

Okay, for some folks, this one is tough.

It takes a little thought, and a little time.

But it can be a huge gift. Better yet, the friend or relative who receives will have a tangible reminder of your love to revisit again and again.

Write a letter.

Notebook paper, or scented stationery. A beautiful hand-made card, or a simple piece of typing paper. But take the time to hand-write some words of encouragement and love. Skip the computer/word-processor/or even typewriter. Leave your fingerprints all over the page.

Then slip it into an envelope, address it, and mail it. As a bonus, consider decorating the envelope with stickers or artwork. Imagine how they'll grin when they open the mailbox and find it a few days from now.

Sure, we live in an age of cell-phones, emails, and instant messages. But that will add extra sheen to the glow of this kindness. Take the time to send an old-fashioned letter.

Blessings!
