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.
We are stuck in quarantine for another two weeks, why not spend 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
what you have been doing during this quarantine
what you want to do when this quarantine is over
This would be a great idea for your Girl Scouts. Our Girl Scout Troop is making some cards for Seniors. Since we can't visit seniors during this time, we thought we would make some cards for them and drop them off at the retirement community. 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. Once the quarantine is over, the girls can visit their pen pals.
Don't tell me that you don't have any time. I know you have plenty of free time! So, grab some paper and a pen and start writing!
