Love Letter to the World

There are times that I almost hear my dad telling me to smile a little more.  To laugh at something or to make some sort of joke that everyone in the room is avoiding.

With the holiday season rearing it's head from hiding earlier then ever this year, I can't help remember where I was a year ago.  I wasn't in a great place because I didn't understand why I had to go to the hospital again and be on all sorts of medications again.  

Plain and simple?  I was tired of it all.

So I came up with a mission to write letters and leave them in the hospital.  For those people who had to spend time in the hospital for whatever reason.  For the hospital staff who has to work long hours and are sometimes the only source of entertainment for patients.

Did I ever proceed with this mission of mine?  No. 

I called to find out how one can make this happen and they basically told me it's not possible.  And that one door slamming in my face brought my whole resolve to a screeching halt.  Instead, I turned to my friends, and sent them letters and cards for the holidays.

This year?  I want to send my love letters to people who have experienced some sort of pain in their life so they can smile for a small minute. I want to send letters to those people who I care for to let them know I love them.  And spread a little love and smiles during this holiday season.

Because that's what the holidays are all about right?  Sharing love with those around you.
