It has been so long since we last wrote, so I thought I would pen a letter to you since today is National Letter Writing Day. For hundreds of years, letter writing was the only way to communicate with one another. Of course, along came the telephone, and then the internet and finally the smartphone. If I need to tell you something, I can just text you. Or, if it's too long, I can send it to you an email. But, that feeling sitting down and writing you a letter is just something so special. I do hope that you agree. Please write back soon. Love, Me.
Hand writing a letter makes you stop and think before you put pen to paper. You don't have that easy back space key to erase any mistakes. It also gives you a chance to practice your cursive handwriting. Some schools don't teach cursive handwriting. Instead they opt to teach typing on the keyboard.
Letter writing gives you a way to connect personally with an individual. Your letter has their undivided attention. It's a great way to make a connection with another person.
Oh, and you get to use pretty paper and fun pens to write you letter. You had me at fun pens. Who doesn't like fun pens?
How to celebrate today?
Purchase some new stationary. Or, better yet, dig out that pretty paper you have hiding in the bottom of your desk drawer.
Write a letter. You can write a friend or relative or even a congressman/woman.
Don't forget to decorate the envelope. A wax seal? Stickers?
And, of course, a festive stamp.
So, make a pot of tea and start writing some letters!
