Remember when we used to write letters? Now, it seems old fashioned to write a letter by hand, address an envelope, find a stamp, and then put it in the mailbox. We may send a quick birthday card, but I remember spending entire evenings writing or typing letters to friends.

Now that we can send emails and texts instantly across the world, it’s hard to imagine that back in those days we would have to wait a week or two for a reply.

However, now that we have slowed down a bit, perhaps letter writing—as a lost art—can have a resurgence.

This weekend, consider writing an old fashioned letter to someone. The letter doesn’t have to be perfect. Nor does it have to be several pages long. What is important is that whatever the length, the letter be caring and kind. Then when you put it in the mailbox, imagine sending your blessings along with it, and expect nothing in return.

Do you have in mind someone who might be happy to hear from you? Perhaps someone who is spending a lot of time alone right now and might really appreciate a letter? Back in the supposed ‘good old days,’ were you a letter writer? Have you continued even now?

I welcome any and all thoughts on letter writing.

Stay safe. Stay steady. Steady on.

Love,
Susan
