They...or rather, we...did it! A couple weeks ago, I made a post about my favorite radio station's "Big Thank You" for troops stationed all over the world. I told you all that there are 375,000 men and women deployed all over the world and my local radio station asked that we all write a letter and they would send them out to the troops so that each man and woman would have a letter to read on Thanksgiving day. Task accomplished...and then some! I don't know if any of my readers wrote any letters but, the "Big Thank You" was a success and they received more than the 375,000 letters needed to get one into a hand of each and every service personnel deployed throughout the world! I wrote one! I will admit that I procrastinated until about 2 days before the first deadline. They actually had to extend it by one week because by the first deadline they were about 300,000 letters from their goal.
Anyway, after procrastinating for what seemed like forever, I finally sat down and started writing. I have very strong opinions about our current political condition. But, I set aside my personal opinions and wrote in the spirit of the task. It was amazing how the words just flowed.
It warms my heart to know that someone I don't know will be uplifted on Thanksgiving by my letter!
