Fourth Letter

I definitely feel the effects of this project. I am thinking about the people in my life all of the time and wondering what nice things I can say about them. I think that is a good place to be! I've got a couple of followers--yippee! That's unexpected fun. I hope that I will be able to reach a lot of people and spread some of the "good stuff".

Today I went to shop for stationery. I was a little bit disappointed, not finding something that blew me away. I wish I didn't have such high expectations all of the time. I guess it's the designer in me. I like things to be visually pleasing and evoke emotion. Is that so wrong? I found some cute note cards and got them. One had a turtle on it. One of my sister's loves turtles. It made me think of how she will smile when she opens the card with the cute turtle swimming in the sun with a tiny bird on his back. She'll love it. Anyway, it's not her turn today. I felt like writing to my brother. I think he thinks I think I am better than him. Know what I mean??? It's not true. I love my brother. Sometimes when people you love are struggling, you want so much more for them. When I talk to him I like to give him ideas and inspire him to go for what he wants in life. I think he interprets my advice as lectures or judgments. They're not intended to be that way. My brother is a really great guy. He has much to offer the world. I wanted him to know that.
