If you read my blog or are friends with me on FB, you know that I love letter writing. I went through periods growing up where I would write lots of letters and cards. Then it would fall by the wayside for awhile normally because life was happening around me, but then I would pick it back up and begin again. As an adult, at least in these years as an adult, I really love writing letters again.
Yes, I realize that I am old fashioned. There's no news in that statement LOL But I, personally, enjoy getting things in the mail that aren't bills and I write letters in the hopes that others feel that same way. And if they don't, so be it. At least it will be something different for them to look at. And I find it much more personal than simply sending an email. While that is convenient, letter writing takes some thought and some effort. It shows how someone took the time to think of you and wanted to let you know that. I think that is wonderful and I love it.
My new challenge for myself is to write a letter every day. I realize that I may not be able to do one each day, but I can try. As with being a kid, life happens around me as an adult so I have to make adjustments. No shame in that. But I keep track of the letters that I write and I need to step up my game. Here we are in the middle of February and I've only gotten 3 letters out so far. Not a good rate! And I have lots of stationary to use up. I do love buying stationary and cards, but that's for another blog.
So, we shall see how this goes. I enjoy the peace of sitting down and putting pen to paper. I find it relaxing and who couldn't use more relaxation in their lives? I love surprising people who would never expect to get a letter in this age of technology. It makes me happy so why not try to do that every day? Ah, well. Time for me to refill my coffee and sit down and jot a note to someone. Who knows. It may be to you!
That is all.
