Letters: Day Four

Dear Eden,

Just the other night, my friend Casey asked me why I posted every day. I wasn't really sure what to tell him.

Primarily, I've been doing it to make my readers' lives more miserable enjoyable.

"I can win a prize if I post everyday," I told him.

The very next day, you sent me an email telling me I'd won!

How exciting! I really did think it was cool, but I decided to decline the prize.

You stated I declined because of the joy of posting every day. I guess I did say something along those lines.

I'm not in it for the prizes . . . I'm in it for the pain. Or so it seems. Thirty one days was a lot!

I was really hoping that if I declined it, you'd spend it yourself. It seems like you're doing a lot of work for little return. Instead, you're piling it onto next month's prize. How nice you are!

But thank you, anyway! I do appreciate it and feel quite lucky! I think I'll go buy a lottery ticket!

Heart,
Aunt Bee
