Maarten’s Snail Mail Pen Pals Online
Oh my goodness, I'm totally intrigued! I am a snail mailer from way back, ha ha, although lately I've gone to type-written letters because I can say more in the same amount of time (blabby!). And I'm guilty of switching to sending messages to through facebook. But there is also something so permanent of what's put on paper - I come across letters from people I've tucked into the pages of my journals all the time. But maybe the purpose in writing a letter by hand is to slow down a bit and actually think about what you want to say and choose your words more carefully than you would when a delete button is within easy reach! Uh-oh, you've totally started something in me here...thank you!!! I know I visited your site before (A-Zing last year, perhaps?!) - grateful to our mutual square-toothed friend for bringing me back!
ReplyDeleteI do definitely choose my words more carefully, but my tongue is no less hinged in the middle whilst using pen and paper than it is when I'm speaking or typing! LOL!
DeleteI can't even begin to tell you what joy and encouragement getting snail mail in my post box has done for me these past 2 years! :)
Rec'd your lovely letter a la peacock:)
