Day 1

So here is my challenge. I am wanting to change myself. I want to care less about me and more about others. I am going to do this by encouraging someone every day for a month. I will find some way to reach out, even if just by a card, saying that I am thinking of them. If time and money allow, I will do something more elaborate, such as dinner or flowers... maybe bake something yummy. If it takes 21 days to make a habit, I am hoping that by the end of my 30 days, I will be in the habit of thinking of others more than myself. I do this to change me. So if I write a card, and it gets to them 2 or 3 days later, it still counts for the day I wrote it. I just want to give of myself, in some way, each day.
So day 1, October the first, I wrote a card to my good friend L____. I just told her what she means to me, and how much I appreciate her role in my life, as well as in the lives of my daughters.
I am actually looking forward to running out of close friends to encourage, and maybe reaching out to someone I am not close to. I am excited about this challenge.
