Spend a few minutes, sit down, and write a letter to a senior citizen (a stranger). Tell them about yourself, maybe tell them a joke or a riddle, and tell them they are appreciated. Writing to someone you don't know might be intimidating at first. Just imagine you're having a discussion! You should write your letter in the third person because it makes it easier to express yourself freely and not worry about hurting their feelings. For example, instead of saying, "I love you," say, "Johnny loves Mary." This way, if Mary doesn't like Johnny, she won't feel offended by the letter. When you're done writing, read your letter out loud so you can make sure there are no mistakes. If everything is okay, then sign your name at the end of the letter. Give this a try: Go to a mailbox or post office and find out who's birthday is near yours. Send them something nice for their birthday!
