40 Days of Love for Lent (day 1)

Today is the first day of Lent.

I've undertaken a project inspired by the lovely Dandee (go check out her lovely blog) and her 30 Days of Kindness project from last year. Instead of giving something up for Lent, I've decided to give something extra. 40 small acts of love - one for each day of Lent.

These acts are simple.
Things we can easily fit into our day.
I'd love it if you'd join me.

Day 1: Reconnect with an old friend

send a note, give a call, write a facebook message...just get back in touch.
