Day 18-Friends and Art a Day

source

One of the most grateful things I have in my life are my friends. I have two best friends who I have mentioned numerous times before. Kelly and Debra are true blue for me and I do not know what I would do without them.

Here in Colorado, two people came in to my life whom I also call friends. Trish and Stormie arrived when I was feeling lonely for Missouri.  As Kelly and Debra are, Trish and Stormie are two very different people who make life happy.

In addition I have many online friends. There are several who I have known only on line for years. I have been able to know them so well that I consider them family. We all have been through some good times and rough ones too.

I also have a few recently met online friends. They are pretty special people in their own right and I am glad I can call them "friend".

I have a motto that is: Take a moment to know me and I will take a life time to know you. This motto is very true for me. Those people who have taken the time are truly my friends and for that I am happy and grateful.

My art today is made strictly out of thrift store finds. It stands up and will be going on my wall later on.
I hope you like it today. If you do, give me a little "jingle" will you? lol

Day 18-A Million thanks!

I am not sure how you feel about our military but I know that I appreciate them. My brother currently is serving abroad.
You probably always hear, "thank our service people" "give them a hand shake" or something like that.

Well, here is your chance to thank a service person with a personal note. If you send them your e-mail or snail mail many of them do write back.

A few years ago I wrote to anyone who read my letter. As it turns out, that person did indeed write back.  I cannot tell you his name now but I do remember he was most gracious for receiving my letter as he was far away from the states.

There are several letter writing campaigns and I will share a couple with you.

A Million Thanks

A Million Thanks dot org is a group that sends cards all year round. There are dead lines to send cards at a certain time and there are restrictions. Click HERE to find out about them.

Letters To Soldiers dot org is another group that allows you to type your letter in to their web site and they will print and send it for you. Click HERE to find out about them.

It certainly cannot hurt to address one more card to a soldier while we are filling out other cards to send to family and friends.  Let's do this and give a little thanks!

Peace...
