Lately my goal is to stress the importance of the disappearing handwritten letter. If you are lucky to have old handwritten letters from family - save them. When you have a spare moment take time to write a letter to distant family or friends.
Teach your grandchildren to write letters. My mother told me when I was young, "The mailman won't bring you a letter if you don't put one in the mailbox."
The written words we pen preserve a bit of our history, our character, emotions, or sometimes simple thoughts that may later be forgotten. A letter is a small piece of our heart. How special is that!
My life has changed greatly since an ovarian cancer diagnosis one year ago. I've learned to appreciate - every day, every full moon, every handwritten letter or card I receive, and every dragonfly that swoops my way. ~ Kay Scholtz
