I am a letter lover. Although I have sent out less and less personal correspondence lately, I'm still an advocate of sending handwritten notes in the mail. There is something exciting about sending out mail and of course, there is a wonderful pleasure in receiving it.
If you haven't done so recently, you should try mailing off a postcard or just leaving a handwritten note to a loved one that is not just a reminder to take out the trash.
My mom would always tuck small notes into my packed lunch when I was a kid. There was nothing better than opening up my lunch and seeing a note telling me to have a good day.
I'm sure others of you have experienced something similar. So, get out there and write something down for someone special!
If you need some inspiration, may I suggest checking out the wonderful website Letters of Note: correspondence deserving of a wider audience.
Many of the letters collected are to and from "celebrities" and others are humorous or thoughtful pieces that are delightful to read that have been written by normal folks like you and me.
I came across a letter written from comedian and actor Stephen Fry to a woman who wrote to him out of desperation regarding her depression. His response can be read here:
It will be sunny one day
I hope you enjoy it. And write someone something! It's even better if you mail it.
