Two New Blessing Traditions
This Valentine’s Day we’ll kick off two new features on this blog—once a month, on the 14th, we invite you to send us a list of those people and things in your life for which you are grateful—your blessings. The next day, on the 15th of every month beginning February 15, 2010, we invite you to write a letter of thanks to someone you care about, someone who has made your life sweeter. You can share your thoughts on doing this or even share your letter. Know that by participating, you’ll bless us and all of our readers.
