Writing Letters

I don't care how addictive the lure of email and Facebook and texting is, nothing can replace seeing a real honest-to-goodness letter in your mailbox.

Admit it. Amid all this electronic community we now inhabit, there is nothing nicer than to be the recipient of a handwritten missive, knowing it took a commitment of time, a personal choice and a feel-good emotion on the part of the writer who understood you would share that same feeling as you read what was being shared on each page.

I'm issuing a friendly challenge:Sit down TODAY and write to someone who has touched your life. Or someone you miss. Or someone you have been thinking about but just haven't taken the time to contact. Or a family member you haven't heard from lately. Simply jot a friendly note ~ Or ~ write page after page after page. Whatever it takes, whatever feels good to reach out and put a smile on a face that will appreciate being remembered.
