Goodwill words: She should write a book!
As mentioned in my previous post, I really liked that quote at the top of the letter. It seems to fit the purposes of these letters.
In this case, I suggested with sincerity that Mary write a short book.
She definitely would have plenty to share.

I am always happy to steer you to letter-writing destinations and resources on the Web. Just let me know what you need. Comments welcome.
Goodwill words: Support during uncertain times.
I found the quote that I used for my heading just today.
Good stuff.
I actually kind of like the idea of the recipient making a collage of the letters she received.
I hope it turns out for her.

Writers: Embrace failure.
When I came across a page online with the same message, I immediately thought about us writers. (I’ve probably even used the image before.)
I explored the topic more deeply here, including a link to Enjoying the Fun of Failure.
Goodwill words: A reminder to stay young and try something new.
Sometimes my notes to elders turn into mini-pep talks and reminders we still have control over how are days are spent.
It’s quotes like today’s that help move the message forward. So if/when I’m at a loss for words, there is always a quote or a calendar page or a photo from my camera roll to add impact and/or insight that I generally lack.

Goodwill words: Laughing at imperfection.
Using another calendar page to spice things up for another ‘elder’.
Nothing like human foibles to evoke a laugh or two.

Just a reminder: This is not a ‘see what I did? You should too! project. This is me following Austin Kleon’s suggestion to ‘share something small…’.

Goodwill words: Hoping this recipient wasn’t in retail.
to play into the note’s featured image…
One of the other challenges to writing to an unnamed ‘other person’ is the possibility of offending someone.
But in the end, I shrug and have faith the note reaches someone who might a) find the humor b) have pity on me…as a human, a writer, a delusional who hopes to amuse.

Goodwill words: Sending hope to a mom facing changes and challenges
A reminder to me: It’s always nice to see that, by sending in a request to More Love Letters, someone is leading the charge to help these letters’ recipients.
Another lesson: There is always a quote available to kickstart any note or letter I’m writing. Yet another: I have fun trying to lighten things up a bit. One of my daily calendars usually comes through…
A few other notes from recent months…1. 2. 3.
Thanks for visiting. I always appreciate the folks who press the ‘Like’ button to let me know the post arrived in legible and at least semi-comprehensible condition.

Goodwill words: Another note for *Love for Our Elders*
It’s sometimes a challenge to come up with something different and/or tailored to an unnamed recipient. Love for Our Elders handles the distribution.
So I try to use different sparks or starting points for my messages. Daily calendar pages such as this one are a big help.

And forgetting that fact doesn’t help either.
