I know we touched on this topic yesterday but I have more to say. I love pen pals. I had one when I was a teen. Miguel in Malaysia. It slowly petered out. I guess he bored of it or something like that. I’m now curious about what his life is now. I then wrote to my great aunt, then my niece. There’s something wonderful about a letter in the mail!

Yes, receiving a letter is very special and seems even more so in this digital age. It’s almost a way to gently return us to a time when things moved at a much slower pace.
