Recently I have been getting more letters than usual. I have been a terrible correspondent lately, but old friends have not given up on me...yet. The universe has been telling me to pay attention. I was invited to a letter-writing party. I was unable to attend, but what a great idea. Just invite a few friends to bring their stationery and address book. Maybe first you will all decorate envelopes and then get down to writing. Wouldn't it be great if you knew some of the same people? Then you could round robin the letters and each write something.
Then I ran across this website about letter writing.
They have some interesting stuff online. They sponsor and report on mailing events and mailing news.
I have always loved mailboxes of all kinds especially the pillar boxes of England and I have a collection of vintage miniature pillar box banks. I even have one of these happy red post boxes from one of the Danish countries that I bought years ago, but it sits unused waiting for the perfect spot and function.
Life will go on whether I write letters or not, but isn't it fun to get something personal in the mail other than circulars and bills?
Snail mail forever!

When I worked in a bank I went to training and learned about PIG notes. They are notes that you send to someone to thank them to be a PIG it must be
P ositive
I mmediate
G raphic
you can say thank you and that stays for awhile but a hand written note can be pulled out when someone has a bad day and rereading how they made a difference to someone else brings that good feeling back once again and the happiness continues.
