Notes

Letter writing is a lost art, I think.  Remember in elementary school, when you had pen-pals from another school somewhere across the country or in an entirely different country?  You would write a letter a week, anxiously await for a reply back in the mail.  Good times.  Whenever I had friends on out in the mission field, I was pretty faithful about writing them (and most were really good about writing back).  But now there is email, texting, IM'ing, and phones are much more convenient to make long-distance calls on.  But still, letter-writing is deteriorating; grammar, structure, how to give news and make it sound interesting--that is all going by the wayside.  

I have a great deal of pretty note-cards that I keep stored in a box.  Just sitting there waiting for a special occasion to use them.  But here is my "sudden" realization.  There really is never going to be that special occasion to use them.  I have to make it.  We all like to get something in the mail.  Gifts are the best, but a nice note is almost as good.  : )  So I am going to do my best to start a letter writing campaign.  I'll send notes to my friends and family members.  If someone responds, yea!  If not, then I'll keep writing.  But I want to keep the art of letter writing alive, somewhat.  Because really, don't we all deserve something in the mail besides bills.
