According to this site, this week – January 8-14 – is “Write a Letter Week.” Thanks, Honey & Cheese for the reminder!
What a coincidence, then, that after working on it for about 3 weeks, I finally finished a letter to a friend and got it out in the mail! I think perhaps I should take a leaf out of the calendar and have it motivate me to write more letters and notes to friends. Because, after all, there is nothing more cheery than finding a friendly epistle in the mailbox amongst all the boring, mundane bills and junk mail.
I have a few posts lined up reviewing books in letter format, whether real correspondence or fictional, but in the meantime, I’m going to sign off and write a few notes and get them out in the mail to friends. :) Pretty paper and fun stamps, a good pen and I’m on my way.
When was the last time you wrote or received a letter?
Oh, I love getting letters, almost more than anything!
And…I believe I recognize the handwriting of a sweet friend in that note up there. Her letter was actually the last I received, just after the holidays and it made my day. I hadn’t gotten any for a very long time and was missing it.
About a week ago I sat down and and a writing marathon and wrote four. Hopefully this means I’ll get some in return before too long? If not, I’ll have to go searching for more pen pals again.
