Easter is just twelve days away and I have written twenty-five thank you cards. At this point, I have only delivered a few of those. There is a big stack of stamped and addressed envelopes sitting on my passenger car seat. I really need to get those in the mail!
I started my project with a list of names. Initially, I came up with a list of about fifteen people that I "owed" a thank you ... or many thank yous. I thought I would never have a list of forty people! After I had some names down, I began writing the letters. Some of the letters came easily. I knew what I wanted to say and just needed to say it. Other letters have not come so easily, either because I've had too much to say and don't know what to focus on (as is the case with my parents) or I knew what I wanted to say and just didn't know how to say it.
As I have gone through Lent with this project in mind, my list has grown from fifteen people to a list of forty-nine name and the list is still growing! When I started this project, I thought forty names would be a challenge. Now, I know that I may have forty thank you cards mailed and delivered by Easter Sunday, but the project will not end then.
