I came up with this idea while I was brainstorming “fun” things and I wanted to make sure I did this before my “40 days” were up. Today I wrote a separate letter to each person in my immediate family (including me). I wanted to encourage my family and let them know how much I love them. And I wrote myself a letter to remind me of the things I already know but tend to forget in times of stress or disappointment. Tomorrow I will mail each of the letters and everyone will get something in the mail in a couple of days. I thought this would be fun. First, in the actual writing of the letters (it was!) and second, when everyone receives their letter in the mail. Mailing anything is a big deal for me because I don’t mail anything to anyone…ever. So this would be something different and unique and will hopefully encourage and bless the people I care about the most.
In addition to writing letters, I watched the movie “Independence Day” (I got it for Christmas and although it’s a cheesy movie I still really enjoy it) and painted my nails. There! More “fun” things.
