Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Sprinkle of Love, by Mail


--by onefish2fish, posted Mar 7, 2009

I have come up with an idea that i thought i would share. I am going to start to sending letters, post cards and small things through the mail to my grandmother. One each day. She has not been feeling well lately and I thought this would cheer her up a bit. I am thinking of doing it with other people as well so each week I will pick a new person to shower with encouraging word, thoughts, and love!

Just wanted to share it! You are all an inspiration to me thanks!!

You know, nobody writes letters anymore but i do have a couple of friends that don't have computers so when they write, i carry the letter around with me all day. A note on the computer is just not the same and getting it out of the mailbox.

What a wonderful idea! Nothing beats getting a personal note in the snail mail. It is really thoughtful and will be much appreciated.
