Hi Secret Pals!
I guess this is Just a Little Encouragement to those of you who have Yet to Hear from Your Secret Pals....
Be it....
The One who has you.....
As well as the one you Have!
I know it hurts, and I know it is Frustrating.
You see,
Before Becoming Part of this Secret Pal Program...
I belonged to one on My HOME site, on the PA. Boards.
The first Month I sent out a Package....To MY SECRET Pal....
(The one assigned to Me!)
I did not get a Thank You....
The Second Month, Same Thing,
Sent a Gift,
Again....
NO Thank You!
Then I received a Letter from the Gal who was Hosting the Secret Pal Program, as she received a Letter for My Secret Pal saying that she Has Yet to Recieve Anything!
I was SHOCKED!
As I had sent out TWO, Yes TWO Packages.
I felt SO Awful...
I then Sent her THREE Packages....
Each Shipped Individually,
Three Days in a Row....with Delivery Confirmation!
I Made sure to Put a RETURN ADDRESS!
This Is IMPORTANT!
I just Put From...
SECRET PAL
Your Correct Street Address,
And City, State and Zip Code.
IF you do Not have a Return Address,
And a Delivery Confirmation #....
Your are out of Luck.
I learned that the Hard way.
They also Have SIGNATURE Confirmation.
IF you have a Problem.....
PLEASE Consider this Option.
Delivery Confirmation means it was left at the Address....
Signature Confirmation will tell you Exactly WHO Signed for it.
It will be Hand Delivered to Someone.....
They Have to Sign for it....
It cannot be left without a Signature!!!
Okay, I hope that Helped,
As Far as Taking Care of YOUR Secret Pal!
NOW,
On the Other Hand....
I did not Hear from My Prior Secret Pal....
The One who was to Take Care of ME!!
For the First TWO Months of the Program!
After feeling Totally BLAH!
I e-mailed the Host,
I told her how I felt,
And I asked her,
If she could assign Me to someone who Truly Wanted to be a Part of the Program, and wanted to Make Someone HAPPY.....
Not SAD!
I Immediatley Heard back from her....
She said that the Secret Pal who Had Me was VERY SICK!
She had her Surgery a few weeks ago and had some Serious Complications!
She was in the Hospital for Several Weeks!
I went from Feeling Sorry For Myself.....
Since I was only Thinking about Me....
To Just Feeling AWFUL for My Secret Pal!!!!
Oh MY,
I did not think about this!
That something Could Be wrong!
I Immediately sent an e-Mail to the Host.....
Explaining just How awful I felt....
And asking her to Please forward it to My Secret Pal.
She did!
After My Pal got My e-Mail....
She replied with The Most Lovely,
Heartwarming Package!
The Gifts were WONDERFUL and Thoughtful.....
BUT....
It was Her Personal Hand Written Letters that Really Tugged on My Heart-Strings!
SO Please,
TRY sending an e-mail to your Secret Pal (Through the Host),
Let them Know how Much this Program Means to You....
That you wanted that Feel Good Feeling....
Not only for Yourself...
Because you are doing your Part in Making Someone SMILE....
And you were Really Looking forward to Having someone take care of You!
After all....
I think each one of Us joined for that Very Reason.
For the FEEL GOOD Feeling!!!
Your Host of this Secret Pal Program can then Forward the Heartfelt
E-Mail Off to Your Secret Pal....
I wish EVERYONE the Best!
As this Time around I have a VERY Thoughtful and Compassionate Secret Pal...she is Taking VERY Good Care of ME!
And I have a Very Grateful and Gracious Secret Pal whom I am Taking Care of!
PLEASE....Try some of these Options....
I wish you ALL Nothing But the BEST!
BIG HUGS to ALL you Secret Pals!!!!
IMA SECRET!!!!
