There is nothing better than being surprised by a letter instead of the usual bills and junk mail. A great article topic in a world that is all about immediate communication and instant gratification. I carry a book of stamps with me at all times!

Honestly, though, I'm a huge fan of writing letters. In fact, I wrote four of them just the other day. There is nothing like getting a hand-written letter ~ and nothing like writing one in return. It takes time, thought, a moment to really focus on something other than the world speeding on around us. *smile*
