Snail mail with its almost obsolete stamp and its paper and ink enthralls me. Letters tell stories. I suppose they are only half of a dialogue. However, there are so many opportunities for sharing stories, antidotes, thoughts, and just words.
The wonderment of such notes sent through mail couriers and all kinds of weather is that notes require letters of the alphabetic variety.
But notes aren't just contained to words.
Letters can bring stories alive. Letters draw people together across distances. It's a tangible presence of another person's time and effort. Letters are a thing of beauty like a fairy tale (okay, so i do believe letters are like fairy tales; however, I just wanted the opportunity to share this picture.)
If letters are saved and put together, they are like loose leaf journals. A good journal is like a best friend and best friends should always receive letters.
But more than anything, letters make me feel like someone took the time to think of me. They took precious time out of their days to acquaint me with the going-ons in their lives.
Do you write snail mail letters? What are some of your favorite hobbies?
