The Meeting in the Snow

The world was hushed as a gentle, almost silent but evident, hum echoed through the snow topped trees creating a chaste white landscape. A delicate pure rug of snow carpeted the roads as fluffy shavings continued to fall from the black sky – although it was night the earth was glowing, the snow reflecting a light that only snow can. A single flake settled on the tip of her nose, disappearing almost instantly. She shone, standing alone, her hair adorned in white glitter; flakes intertwined within her two plaits. The soft quilt of snow lay unadulterated, she didn’t want to move in fear of marking the carefully placed rug – a stain impossible to remove unless the snow continued to fall, so she stood still; frozen on the spot.

My First Letter

So, over the Christmas period I decided to use my love of words to inject happiness and positive thoughts into the lives of other people. I left this letter on a train hoping someone in need would find it. Happiness is so important to me and if I am lucky enough to be able to influence other people and their moods then I will do all I can. My aim for this Gap Year is to write many letters and leave them in random places for lots of different people to find and pass on. Making other people happy is honestly one of my favourite things to do; if you know someone who needs a boost a short letter will impact them in more ways than you'll ever know.
Although I have stressed the importance of taking every opportunity to make other people happy you also need to ensure that you stay happy. Do things that feed your soul and make you feel alive. Your sincere smile will improve many days without you knowing.

Smile always,
