#6: Lift Spirits with Letters (Friday, February 9)

Email has become so convenient that we don't write letters half as much as we used to. Who wants to write the letter, go to the post office, stand on line, buy stamps - and everything else - just to send a letter when you can give the person a call or shoot them a quick email?

But think how nice it would be if you went to your mailbox and got an actual letter from someone you knew, rather than the bills and junk mail we typically receive? To think that someone went through all that effort and trouble JUST for you! What a nice feeling it is.

The Idea: You know hundreds of people. Probably even thousands. Choose ONE person and write them a nice, positive and uplifting letter. If possible, choose someone you haven't spoken to in a while; that will make it all the more special and unexpected.

The Cost: Your time and postage.

The Benefit: You will let someone know you care AND brighten their day with an unexpected communication.

Tell me what you think of this idea...
