365 Days

I am truly inspired by this story.  I recently received a postcard in the mail from a friend who lives about 400 metres from me.  A lovely postcard which read;
Hi Jo,
Hope you had a smashing game of tennis on Thursday - missed the chat!  I hope too that the misplaced dance shoes have been found  and are ready for this week!!  Sitting in front of our new feature "wallpaper" wall and I must say, it looks brilliant!!  Have a great week.
Love Trudy.
I re-read the postcard over and said "wow" how nice is that more than once to myself.  What was really going on here was how nice it is that I have someone who thinks and cares about me, that they send a postcard even when they are not on holiday.  I was chuffed!!  When next we spoke I told Trudy this and she then revealed that she is on a 365 day postcard challenge.  Tired of receiving bill after bill each time she goes to the mailbox, she thought everyone would benefit from that wonderful feeling that you gain when you receive nice post.  Hence she started the 365 postcard challenge to bring joy into other people's lives.  She is having a ball and is surprised at the number of postcards she is now receiving as a result and the number of conversations and stories that have ensued.  Although this was not her ultimate intention it just goes to show that people love to receive and give joy and that it doesn't take much..... although a commitment of 365 days is pretty amazing.

So being inspired (and a copy cat), close to winter and looking for some revitalisation, I would like to start my own 365 day challenge, so I have my thinking cap on.  If you have any ideas please share them here.  My only rule is that it must benefit me and others and it must focus on an area of personal development.  Would love to hear your thoughts.

Looking for Inspiration - What can I do everyday for the next 365 days?
