Journaling prompt# 5

Write a letter to a loved one.

OK- this is good. I’m overdue writing a letter to the misses as is. I can double down on two badge sub-tasks at once with this one too.

I’m kind of liking the letter writing exercises. I think it’s important to convey feelings with a tangible thing that can be saved. I wrote my first condolence letter this week for a co-worker who had coincidentally lost his mother last week. I see now through the process of putting those words on paper how important it is to make the effort. I’m thankful that I’m doing the badge work at this time especially because while I may have gifted a card to him, I probably wouldn’t have added anything other than a signature to a card written by someone else.

I also see opportunities to write two seperate letters of encouragement to young men just starting out their lives and starting them on the right feet. Again, I woule never have considered a physical snail-mail letter before the badging requirement, but now I’m stoked to do so.

Wish me luck!
