write more letters

I’ve been writing letters more often! I started writing one every day to one of my friends while she was in the hospital, and that spread to writing to other friends as well just for the simple joy of doing so. It’s definitely something I’m going to keep working on making a part of my regularly scheduled activities.

Wrote and sent out a letter and a card yesterday. :)

... and not just any letter. Am going to bring my calligraphy pen, some parchment, and other assorted things down to the local cafe I’m currently sitting at and design and write an illuminated manuscript styled letter of great affection and adoration for the world’s prettiest star and my sweetie.

Eat your hearts out, Romeos and Cassanovas of the world.

... I’ve sent snail mail out to seven of my friends; I can thank a fortune cookie that read “You have a charming way with words. Tomorrow write a letter.” for reminding me of wanting to do this goal. A work in progress!

I need to make this a regular part of my life; the Internet is a wonderful way to communicate but it leaves so much to be desired. There’s something about receiving a letter – it’s tangible and it seems to carry a hint of the person that wrote it along with it.

I’m going to sit down and write out a list of people to write letters to regularly. I can already think of two people I should really do this for because of their limited Internet access.
