April is National Card and Letter Writing Month. I talked about this in an earlier blog post (click here to check it out) and thought I would remind everyone again.
Why not take a few minutes and write some letters to friends and or family members and drop them in the mail? People love getting happy mail! I love handwritten letters! That's the first thing I read when I get the mail!Don't know what to write? How about:
an uplifting message
a funny (happy) memory that you share with this person
Maybe a thank you for something
How about just saying hello?
This would be a great idea for your Girl Scouts. Our Girl Scout Troop is making some cards for Seniors. We have done this in the past and the Seniors love receiving cards and letters! I have contacted the homes that we normally visit and have organized our card drop off with them. This might be something you can have your troop work on at home. If you want to take this a step further, maybe your troop would like to be pen pals with some seniors? Check out this article on Becoming a Pen Pal to Seniors. You can contact your local retirement community and see if they would be interested in having Girl Scout Pen Pals.
So, grab some paper and a pen and start writing!
