There’s nothing like a friend’s birthday and Canva to inspire a quick and fun detour from putting pen to paper…

In this case, I thought I’d collage it up with photos of my friend’s ‘other beloved grandson’.

As I’ve said before, if goodwill words isn’t fun–whether it’s the writing or the embellishments–I’m probably not as inclined to stay involved.

Joanna [not her real name] is in her mid-20’s and has endured years of uncertainty–her doctors’ and thus, her own– about her health issues.

Combine that with ‘Pandemic Times’ and her perceived inability to live up to her own expectations at work and, well, these are not exactly prime conditions for Joanna.

A reminder: these letters are only a way to share a different avenue for writers to explore, not a ‘you should be doing what I’m doing.”

This person–let’s call her Cicely–sounded like someone whose special qualities were flagging in the face of multiple challenges.

As you can see, each letter kind of takes on a life of its own, what with varying added features. Hey, if this isn’t fun–whether it’s the writing or the embellishments–I’m probably not as inclined to stay involved.

I decided Mary [not her real name] needed a little reminder of her past contributions as a nurse and how she might still ‘stay in the game’ while she recovers from a serious accident.

Once again, I am reminded how my little annoyances in life–compared to the challenges faced by folks like Mary–are just that: annoyances.

Keeping up with my monthly challenge of eight letters, minimum.

There have been requests for cards, as well, so I’ll be digging into my page-a-day calendars and my photos to doll up those selections a bit.

Challenge for me: Just keeping an organized workspace to make the composition process seamless.

As you can tell by my occasional cross-outs, etc., I’m clearly working from the school of ‘better done than perfect’, but still, if I could remove additional distractions, that would make this an even more enjoyable project.

Keeping up the goodwill words momentum. I see it as a way to volunteer without leaving home.

Time to return from a layoff from posting letters and notes. (It helps to inspire my own goodwill words routines.)
