When was the last time you wrote a letter? Or received one? Perhaps a birthday or Christmas card with a handwritten note? For many, not recently. I’m guilty of this myself. I have plenty of beautiful paper, but most often, it just sits there. My goal this year is to write to more people more often. Maybe find a pen pal, too.
Another thought-provoking essay, my friend! I still write letters & cards to my friends & family. I simply love to receive them, too. I usually do not make New Year resolutions, but I did make one this year — - to hand-write each of my siblings & close family on their birthday to tell them, specifically, how much I love them, cite their individual traits & personality quirks I find special, & to let them know how precious they are to me. Eulogies are full of these loving sentiments —- I’m not waiting until a loved one dies to tell them how special they are to me. ❤️ (Sorry for the emoji)
It is a year and a day since this post by you and I am just reading it. A question: how many hand written letters have you managed? I write with a fountain pen to friends, not nearly as often as I intend, and I don’t post to paperbag stories because I write with my pen, but then life gets in the way and I don’t type the stories up! I like your thoughtfulness. Robert 🐰
