Even as the date for the Coordinated Kindness event passed, people continued to join in with five more participating in the past week. Some responses to the event:

Have Always & regularly send snail-mail/letters & cards to friends & loved ones–& will participate –in this by sending a B-day card to Mrs.Possert–want to send it close to her ‘day’!=)

I write letters and send cards all the time. I used to love to get REAL mail. It’s like a lost art. So, hopefully this will motivate more people to actually write to someone they love or even a perfect stranger. Remember R’ Troops : )

I LOVE sending things in the mail. No one expects a letter anymore. I like to write backwards letters that you have to hold up to a mirror to read… My niece is long overdue for one!

As a matter o’fact I have a collection of headlines and some pictures I stuck together and put in a big envelope, which then demanded its own decorations and which is headed to Dragon. Ok, something else for the 11th: right up my dirt road.

And if you still haven’t participated and want to send something, folks have recommended a couple places:
Postcrossing: Postcrossing is a project that allows anyone to receive postcards (real ones, not electronic) from random places in the world.

And of course there’s the Look for the Good project. From the website:

THE LOOK FOR THE GOOD PROJECT was created by Anne Kubitsky to help people center on an underlying good in life. By asking the question, “What are YOU grateful for?” she invited the community at large to share a “glimmer of gladness” on a postcard and mail it back to her. Since the project’s 2011 inception, she has received hundreds of heartfelt messages from all over the world… and continues to receive them on a daily basis.

But THE LOOK FOR THE GOOD PROJECT isn’t just about gratitude. It’s about opening up to a lifestyle that’s spiritually minded, socially aware, and environmentally sustainable. When we’re grateful, we have good values… which lead to good choices… which enable good actions. Peace, happiness, freedom, love… it all begins with gratitude. Can you imagine what the world would be like if we each opened our hearts to gratitude? Try it right now by asking yourself: What am I grateful for?

Thanks again to everyone who partcipated!
