Well my first four letters are away. Hubby and I left the house yesterday to do some running around. As I walked out the door I thought perhaps I should put the letters in the mail box but changed my mind thinking I would have time to post them when we returned home. Nope. Missed the mail pick up by probably a couple of minutes. Something we do not think about when sending email. That would be funny, I think. 'I have to remember the last email delivery is at 5:00p.m. Must make sure all emails go out by then.'

It was a birthday present from hubby a few years ago. I love it! When I made the decision to join in the, A Month of Letters event, I decided to hand write my notes and letters. You can print them on your computer, but I need the handwriting practice; to which those who receive letters from me will be able to attest. i think I am already forgetting to slow down. This is not an email. Sending a letter is designed to slow one down a bit. In visiting a friend's PS post today, I paid more attention to the beautiful photos of the sunset and less to her words, I am embarrassed to admit. She was talking about her son who had passed away and I missed it! Those are the things that can be lost to us as we (nay, I) rush around. Check me out. I used the word, nay in a sentence. Ha!
This, A Month of Letters project is my own reminder to take things that matter a bit slower. I hope you will join in on the fun. Whether you leave your mailing address here in comments to receive a letter from me, or prompt your own readers to leave theirs for you, I think letter writing is a great tool in being calm, and patient while at the same time, bringing delight to those involved in the process.
Your addresses will be kept confidential.
