The Art of Letter Writing
I’m blessed to have two good friends who are also amazing snail mail pen pals. We have fun keeping in touch through cards and letters. It’s astounding how much more personal a letter feels than an e-mail. Quite refreshing, actually.
A few months back I stumbled across the Letter Writers Alliance and thought it was a fantastic idea so I passed along word to my two friends. After all, we’re already writing letters to one another, why not be a card-carrying member of some fun group too?!
So, today I signed up to become a member and perhaps it’s silly but I’m quite excited. I tend to type my letters on my lovely typewriters and maybe someday I’ll do a few by hand (hoping to improve my horrid penmanship). And now that I mention it, I really need to write letters back to my two friends as soon as possible.
It is a sincere hope of mine that there will always be people in the world that read real books and write real letters. I will be one, and perhaps others will join me. How about you?
