Day one!

Facebook does many things. Some good, some bad. Gneh...so goes the world. On this occasion it's done something very very good...It's led me to the world of Josie Long and 'A Hundred Days to Make Me a Better Person'. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not under any illusion that I'm perfect- I'm far far away from that, even in my parents eyes! However, after mulling over the whole shebang for a while I still couldn't think of anything specific to do that would a) make me a better person and b) I could really truly and honestly commit to doing for 100 days. So I considered what a 'better me' would be and decided that I'm so busy at university and in trying to kickstart a career that I'm often concerned that I don't do enough to reach out to others. I then posed the question 'What could I do for 100 days that would benefit as many other people as possible?'. The decision was immediate and unanimous (both my brain and uh...soul agreed) that I would write to one person somewhere in the world every day that I think needs some words: be they simply kind words, an expression of sympathy or understanding...perhaps even a word of encouragement or a kick up the arse. I have no idea as of yet who I'm going to write to, what I'm going to say, if I'll get any replies or, indeed, if my letters will even be welcomed. But I intend to do it. And I'm starting today....now infact.
