My gift to an old friend


Tonight I am going to finally start on a project I have been procrastinating on for a while. A few years back, I lived in Japan for two years. I made a lot of friends there, including a sweet old man who worked in the office I did paperwork in on Friday afternoons. He really welcomed me into the community. His hobby was drawing and painting, and he was very talented at it.
I bought this book which is filled with suggestions of interesting things to draw (followed by the appropriate space to draw them) but they are in English, and he can't read them, so I am going to translate the whole book into Japanese. I hope he likes it and still has fond memories of me. It has been too long since last communicating with him.

More Love Letters

Tonight I shall write some encouraging letters to people going through difficult times.I found this great website where people write in about the struggles of their friends or loved ones, and then after reading their stories, people can send in letters or cute hand-made cards, which are then curated and sent in a bundle to the person. I'm excited to be part of this, I thought it was such an inspiring project.
