August Happiness Challenge -- Day 7

Today's happiness -- Using my words. On Sundays, I try to do good. Today I did.

First, I sent Postcards to Voters, supporting veteran and West Pointer Pat Ryan for Congress. Then I wrote a letter to a senior in residence at Illini Restorative Care through Letters Against Isolation.

I can't sing or dance. I don't cook, paint or knit. But I can write. Words come easily to me and I have pretty handwriting. It makes me happy and I feel closer to God when I use my one God given talent for good on a Sunday.

Each day in August you are to post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world.
