“painting some new pictures for our living room!”
That is just one status (out of many) that I gazed upon while perusing Facebook last night. I also talked to my aunt, commented on a picture of my cousin’s new and oh-so-precious baby girl and …well, communicated with a number of people in various ways; which is what Facebook is great for. However, between Facebook, email, BlackBerry Phones, text messaging nonstop and all of the other great technological advances that we have been privileged to encounter…I think many of us have forgotten how to write a letter. Snail mail...what?!
Who doesn’t love getting mail? I mean…you don’t even get bills anymore (it’s all online now…). Even though I am not beyond texting, Facebook and everything else that the 21st century holds; the art of letter writing has not been lost on me.
I have a little pink wire basket that I snagged from the Target Dollar Spot (aka my favorite place!) filled with cards, stamps, return address labels (Thank you, Shutterfly), some random stickers and everything else that you need to mail out a festive card. You don’t need some special occasion to send out a card and it doesn’t have to have money in it! Just say “hi”, “what’s up?”, “How are you?”...Make it your goal to send out one card a week or more…especially to your elders who may have missed the technological era! Send one to your best friend who goes to a different school, your long lost cousin…just send one. You will be surprised at the response that you receive in return! Heck, maybe they will extend the favor and your empty mailbox will be no longer…
