So the last challenge was the challenge of giving thanks. I had to pick three people that I had felt affected me positively over the last few years or more. I chose a very old friend that I have lost contact with, a former professor, and a former boss. Although I they all were wonderful and the challenge sounds easy enough finding the right words to say really ended up being harder than I imagined.
As I sat staring at the blank paper I realized that it was harder to put into words how these people had made a lasting impression in my life.
I mean how exactly do you word "you were a hard ass but forced me to learn and I thank you for not sugar coating anything.." See? It's harder than you think when the letter is suppose to be thanking/praising them.
Even now as I am describing everything I am at a loss for words. Lack of sleep is really taking it's toll today. I guess the most important thing right now is just to say "thank you" to you for taking the time to read this. Saying thank you randomly can make you feel good about making others feel good. I think that's what counts.
