Believe it. This is one box of many that holds nearly every hand-written letter I've ever received. Some might call it obsessive, others might call it hoarding, I prefer to call it treasure.
The hand-written letter is becoming a lost art. Please help.
With the convenience of email, the invent of Facebook and messaging, and all the other ways technology has made our lives easier - some things, like letter writing, have become old fashioned, too much time, too much effort, too slow.
Let this serve as Exhibit A on why letter writing shall never be replaced! From time to time I go back to these boxes, look through the the thoughtful notes that others have written me, and soak in every word. These letters remind me of days past, encourage me with positive thoughts and energy, and always leave me so filled and thankful for the wonderful people in my life.
And who isn't thankful for a piece of mail that arrives that isn't a credit card offer you shred, a bill you have to pay, or the junk mail you got from who knows where not to mention wondering how on earth they got your information?
Please for me and the children of the future world, fight the good letter-writing, mail-sending fight! Whether it's a letter to update on life, words of encouragement or thanks, or a simply hello, write someone a letter and slip it in the mail. Go ahead, surprise and make someones day today!
