This seemed like a natural challenge for the month of February. It was more difficult than I imagined, but now I have a few pieces of advice to share with you:
1. Open with a memory, one that brings about positive feelings and maybe even a laugh or two for you both
2. Transition to how you feel about him or her today
3. List three of his / her greatest qualities
4. Share your hopes for the future
Given how busy my schedule is I thought this challenge was going to be very hard to "fit in". I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed slowing down, reflecting and articulating how I felt on paper. The 30 quiet minutes it took me to write this letter were some of the best all year!
This challenge was a highlight!
