A Challenge

Today is National Thank You Card Day.
So . . . here's your challenge . . .

Not for anything you received on Christmas,
nor Hannukah,
nor Kwanzaa.

I challenge you (and myself)
to grab a Thank You card ~ or just a blank card ~
and sit down with a writing implement.
No emails or texts.
I want you to hand write a Thank You
to some one who has touched your life,
your heart,
your soul,
and express to them your gratitude
for their existence in your life.

Feel free to get all slobbery and sentimental.
Feel free to lose your emotional boundaries altogether.
Just write.
Then . . . address that baby and mail it off.

Not only will you have wandered through a memory
that has brought back fabulous conjurings of wonderful events,
but you will deliver to the recipient
a joyful tiding of, perhaps, something they were unaware of.

Spread the joy!
Go . . . write.
