Letter writing challenge

So this November I want to do a different kind of 30 day challenge.  Everyone loves to get mail but very few people actually receive real mail anymore.  So in November, I am going to write and send out 30 letters to people.  Most of these are things that I am thankful for.  The following list is a list of ideas of people to send a letter to:

1.  someone who changed my life
2.  someone who supported me in hard times
3.  someone who brings me joy
4.  letter to myself in the future - obviously I can't mail this
5.  letter to someone who is currently in the armed forces
6.  letter to someone who has served in the armed forces in the past
7.  letter to a secret keeper
8.  letter to someone who holds my past
9.  letter to a former teacher
10.  letter to a friend
11.  letter to a family member
12.  letter to someone who I admire
13.  letter to someone who inspires me
14.  letter to a leader
15.  letter to another new mom
16.  letter to someone who helped me through my pregnancy
17.  letter to another teacher I admire
18.  letter to someone who needs encouragement
19.  letter to a doctor who has taken care of me
20.  letter to someone I miss
21.  letter to an old best friend
22.  letter to someone in a different state
23.  open letters to students everywhere
24.  letter to a doctor who has taken care of luke
25.  letter to a new friend
26.  letter to someone who helps me out a lot
27.  letter to someone who has created something beautiful for me
28.  letter to someone who is under appreciated
29.  Letter to a stranger



The green ones are the ones I've written and sent out, but I still need more ideas.

Sweet 17 Months

Luke: weighs approx. 27 lbs not sure how tall has 8 teeth and one coming in wears size 5 diapers wears size 2T clothing wears size 6 shoes Takes 1 nap - approximately an hour and a half during the day Almost always sleeps through the night Someone asked me the other day what Luke was like.  I was a little taken aback because I couldn't find the words to say to explain him.  Mostly because he's such a complex little guy.  So in honor of his (almost) 17 month milestone, I thought I'd try to capture some of his essence.  Luke is such a bright ray of sun.  He is generally pretty happy and he loves to laugh.  And when he does he laughs way deep, down in his belly.   his big ole grin He also loves food.  There are so many times that I feel like there is no possible way he could STILL be eating.  But he keeps saying "more" and signing more.  he's a happy boy for food! He also likes to be scared.  Many hours are spent by running around a
