Mail Time

via
Have you ever had that skip-down-the-sidewalk-singing-Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah feeling?  That happy, "I feel loved", "someone thought of me" feeling? That's kind of how I feel when I get real mail--not bills or circulars or dental appointment reminders, but actual hand-written, stuffed in an envelope, stamped and sealed-with-a-kiss mail. Packages are always welcome too. ;)

Getting a real letter is a splendid thing, isn't it? Good mail can make a good day better and kick a bad day square in the keister. Oh, how I love a newsy letter, a cheery card or even just a couple of heartfelt jotted lines!

Now it is February and what better way to celebrate the month of amor than by spreading the love with paper, envelopes and postage stamps? My friend Tanya from Tanya's Stamps & Things  inspired me to take part in "A Month of Letters" after she wrote about it on her blog. I have cards. I have stamps. I am ready! For the next month, I will be sending out hand-written, heartfelt letters every mail delivery day. Maybe you'll find one in your mailbox. Maybe you'll even write back. 

Huzzah for handwritten letters!



Oh, and THIS.

Yes. This reminds me of Garrison Keillor's essay on writing letters that my creative writing prof from a couple years ago had us read and that I loved. In fact, here 'tis: http://fs.huntingdon.edu/english/johnson.michelle/Keillor.pdf

I really do like to write letters, they are more personal than a call or a text. Beautiful handwritten notes show love.

I love this idea. I'll have to do it one of these coming months because this one has already started. :)
