Sending thank you notes to three people from out of the blue and sending a sibling a package may not seem like challenges to some, but I chose them for good reasons.
For one thing, I am a procrastinator (case in point--I am sitting on my couch blogging rather than going out and buying my sister a present). If I make a deadline, I will actually do the thing I set out to do. It might be Saturday, but I will do it.
For another thing, I feel a little bit nervous about sending notes to people whom I have not seen for years. I'm never confident that people will remember me, and I worry that they'll think I'm a weirdo. What I hope, though, is that they will be happy to know that something little they did has helped someone grow and develop.
So, I have been planning to start sending out thank you cards this year as well. I saw a man on the news doing publicity for his book "365 Thank Yous". It was all about how sending thank you cards every day of the year changed his life.
ReplyDeleteI saw something about that too. I think it subliminally encouraged me to do this particular challenge. Good luck!
