Day 84 - Participate in a Chain Mail

"Trust your own instinct.  Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's." 

-Billy Wilder

Normally I don't participate in chain mail.  But I got a cute one today:

Hello!

We're starting a collective, constructive, and hopefully uplifting exchange. It's a one-time thing and we hope you will participate. We have picked those we think would be faithful to the task and make it a fun experience. Please send an encouraging quote to the person whose name is in position 1 below (even if you don't know him or her). It should be a favorite text/verse/motivational poem/prayer/meditation that has lifted you when you were experiencing challenging times. Don't agonize over it--it is one you reach for when you need it or the one that you always turn to or one you have newly discovered and like!

1.     

2. 

After you've sent the short poem/verse/meditation/quote/etc. to the person in position 1, and only that person, copy this letter into a new email, move my name to position 1, and put your name in position 2. Only my name and your name should show when you email. Send to 15 friends BCC (blind copy). If you cannot do this in five days, let us know so it will be fair to those participating. It's fun to see where they come from. Seldom does anyone drop out because we all need new ideas and inspiration.

The turnaround is fast, as there are only two names on the list, and you only have to do it once.

Seriously, who can't use an uplifting email.  It's like getting a card in the mailbox.
