Okay, I’ve found our next “victim” of random acts of letter writing.
Nigel Alston of the Winston-Salem Journal wrote a great column about an acquaintance of his who wrote a letter for each of the 40 days of Lent. Mr. Alston says he was inspired by his friend’s tradition and decided to try it himself and found it gratifying.
I think it would be nice to send Mr. Alston a note and tell him how great he is for passing along the inspiration to his readers. I hope you will do another one of these with me since it turned out to be so much fun with Erin. Who knows what will happen.

Count me in! I enjoyed writing to Erin and reading her response.
I will send him a note. From The Netherlands, so it will take a while before it reaches him.
Okay, I’ve sent mine. Get those pens moving.
It will be in the mail tomorrow! I love the idea of just randomly thanking people for their impact on our lives.
Okay –no promises, but I’m going to try!
Thanks for the kind notes I received from Danielle and Lisa today (4/21).
Your random acts of kindness are appreciated.

Well, today, I received two more letters. I am a victim again:)
Wendy and Shannon, thanks.
You thoughtfulness to a stranger is appreciated.

Nigel — my husband is a columnist, too. He so appreciates it when he gets mail from readers, especially the old-fashioned kind. Hope it gave you a boost!
Old-fashioned kind of mail, that is…Ha. He likes all readers — new-fangled and old-fashioned! It’s such a pity that I find myself so funny.
Nigel, thanks for letting us have our way with you.
