The Art of Handwritten Letters

I’m beginning to feel like writing letters is a lost art.  I’m one who loves great stationery and often wonder if I should invest in some for myself, but if I’m honest, how often is it that I actually sit down to write anyone a note?… Almost never.  I also thought about getting a personalized stamp with my name and address, but I rarely ever even mail anything.  So would there even be a point?  I do enjoy receiving handwritten letters or invitations in the mail.  Something about it seems very personal & intimate to me.  So, at the urging of my Pastor, I decided to send a nice card to a friend I haven’t seen or spoken to in a very long while.  We send the obligatory ‘Happy Birthday’ or ‘Merry Christmas’ texts but not much more than that.

This past weekend, I took a trip to the store, took some time to pick out a cute card and sat down to pen a short note for her.  Nothing deep or over the top.  Just a quick hello to let her know I’m thinking about her.

When was the last time you mailed someone a card to say ‘Hello’?  You should try it.  I’m sure it would make them smile…
