I sat down at my desk and started writing a letter of
thankfulness, but when it came to actually putting the letter into the
mailbox... I 1 ...I couldn't do it. I suddenly felt a sense
of 2and insecurity (不安).
The letter was to an old teacher with
whom I kept in 3 on Facebook. For months, I read about what she
4 on her Facebook page, which helped me to live
my life differently. Her volunteer (志愿者) work wasn't huge. 5, she was doing small, local good
deeds.6 , she changed my views on the world and for
some reason, I felt I should let her know how her example7 influenced me.
I could have easily sent her an email, but that seemed not
enough for such an important thank-you. That's why I ended up8 the letter. But now here I was, standing
before the mailbox, unable to put the envelope inside. What was stopping me? It
suddenly hit me that I was 9 of being too nice. I guess I felt strange 10 it wasn't like she was my best friend or a
relative. Maybe my 11 was too heartfelt. Thinking this over, I put
the envelope in the mailbox 12.
Weeks later I received a message from her. It turned out she
was 13 a hard time and my note 14 a lot to her. She said she had no idea she was
playing such a big 15in others' life.
Not only did this letter make her happier, but her response
to it brightened my world and 16my level of happiness as well. I was so
17 that it had such a great influence on her that
I decided to write a(n) 18 letter to someone each month. Now it's easier
for me to19 the goodness in others and be more20 for this beautiful life I'm living.
