Just last week I was wanting to do a personal "do something every day" challenge in April and decided that letter writing would be my challenge. A hand written letter each day. Granted I am already 3 days behind but my 4/1 and 4/2 letters are planned in my head. This is the inspiration I needed to get going! Thanks. This is great!

So - oddly enough, it's a two-fold experience; and that's just for the writer!Imagine the gift of love and friendship (or ire, if that's the case) that so much more clearly comes across through one's penmanship, he flow of the hand-written words and punctuation, color of ink, type of wiritng instrument, paper, etc. etc. as opposed to simple email! No contest!
