Well–now I have letters of appreciation to write thanks to the Calendar!! And apparently THIS is the week to do that–so I’m grabbing my trusty fountain pen and having a go at a couple of people who definitely are due a letter to let them know how much I appreciate them being in my life today. Excellent!! Thank you!!
Writing a letter is always meaningful, but when you have extra reasons to do so, as displayed in “Reasons to Write in March 2026,” it makes for a good start to the March On! campaign.
