Letter-Writing Week

Hello again. Time flies. This week was busy at work, and Thursday was Girl Scout night (cookie sales coming up). I felt good because I had pretty well stuck to the healthier eating plan, even if the scale wasn't reporting anything--yet.

Then I got a new digital scale on Saturday and weighed in.

Discouragement! I weighed the same that I weighed when I went to the doctor a few weeks ago. Very upsetting.

So this morning I weighed, and the scale said I lost about 3lbs. That's what I felt like I lost. So yay!

One of my loseit.com friends suggested that I weigh at the same time when I do weigh in so that the fluctuations don't make me crazy.  Excellent idea!

The second week of January is National Letter Writing Week. So far, I mailed off two cards for relatives. Letter-writing is one of my resolutions. I was going to write last week, but never quite got going.

When I was a teenager, I wrote quite a bit to my grandma and friends, but I fell away from that as I got older. Then phone calls got cheap, and it was just easier to call people.

But there's nothing quite like the feeling of getting a letter or card in the mail. You open the mailbox and see something other than bills, and you feel a little excited that someone cared enough to send a personal note or card. You don't dread getting mail so much, since a letter might be in there.

So write your friends or family a letter. You never know how it might brighten someone's day. :)
