An envelope arrived in my mailbox recently with my correct address but a name I didn't recognize. It wasn't any of the most recent previous owners of my home that I knew of. There was no return address, so the only thing that seemed right to do was open it to see if it was important, and if it contained any other information that would help locate the person for whom it was intended.

It turns out that the letter inside was written by a young man six years ago and addressed to himself, probably part of a project for a school class or youth group. It contained reminders of who he was back then, what was important to him, and what were his dreams and goals for the future.

I did a little googling and discovered that not only does the guy have a facebook account, but we even have a couple mutual friends. I scanned the letter and sent it to him. He was very thankful to receive it.

So, there's my warm fuzzies for today. I hope he gets to look back and see that he turned out OK.
