WAY TO WELLNESS #60
Letter writing is a dying art in this world of email, text messages and all other manner of instant communication. Most modern-day mailboxes are full of typed documents, slick advertisements and bills – delivering nothing more than stress to the recipient.
Today, pick someone to write a letter to. Think about what you’d like to say. Envision the smile that the person will have when they go to their mailbox and see a handwritten letter from you amongst all the junk mail and clear-windowed envelopes asking for money. They may call you to say thank you initiating a connection that hasn’t been made in a long time. They may write you back and provide you with a mailbox smile in return. Buy a book of stamps and keep them handy for future mailbox smiles you may want to send to others. Try to send out at least one letter or card to someone different every month.
Snail mail is a personal connection tool that is much too underused in today’s culture. It requires a little extra time and effort, but the benefit for both the sender and the recipient is worth it.
