Number 4

I was super excited about this one. I found out about this thing called the "Free Little Library" and we have one in our town (they are trying to make them nationwide; search for them on Facebook!). The concept is super simple, take a book, leave a book. So I dug out one of my old books that I haven't read in forever and took it down there.

4. Leave an inspirational note inside a book for someone to find.

I left my book, and took one that was there :-) What the note said that I left:
"To whom ever may find this:
Although it seems like a roller coaster now, life will calm down.
Keep calm and carry on.
I repeat three words over and over to myself - glass half full. I do this to remind myself to be grateful for what I do have in life."
