Some of my dearest friends are Mennonites that do not use computers let alone email. In order to stay in touch we send handwritten letters to one another. I can't tell you how excited I get to receive one of these very special "gifts"! I love seeing their familiar handwriting and ooohing and awing over the choice of stationary or card it is written on.
Reading the latest news in a letter, to me, is so much more precious than an
email. A letter can be kept in a pocket and pulled out to read again at will with no turning on of a device. They can be kept in a box and enjoyed over again....years later or put on the refrigerator for all to enjoy. They are so much more personal and thoughtful.
What a pity it would be to lose this wonderful custom!
Obviously, I do send out my share of email, blogs etc. but to not receive such a devine thing into my own hands would be so sad but until then I am going to keep my eye out for the mailman.
One of My favorite places to get writing supplies is Victorian Trading Company. Their products are beautiful and they even have fountain pens and ink!
Nice post thanks for sharing...blessings soraya
