Research has proven that people hate getting bills in their mail. Research has also shown that people get giddy over seeing a handwritten-addressed envelope in their mailbox. Ok, well, the research is actually solely based on how I feel getting an actual card or letter in my mailbox, but if I can get that excited, think of how others might feel.
It seems the only things being sent to me lately are bills, credit card applications and census information. It's time to spread a little cheer!
The challenge this week is to Minus 10 Unused Cards and Envelopes! Gather up ten cards and envelopes you have in the house and SEND THEM OUT to friends and family. Got an unused Halloween card sitting in your desk drawer? Who cares that it's not actually Halloween? Write a note and mail it! Cross out the preprinted text if you must, but send it out.
No greeting cards on hand? Find a piece of paper and write on it - the back of a take out menu, the flip side of a drawing your child made, even a page torn from a coloring book. Don't think about it -- just use it. Life is too short not to send a smile through the mail.
