With emails
and texting all the rage, the art of letter writing has become passe. Yet, I
adhere to it. Every week I sit down with pen in hand... and write handwritten
letters to my best friend. She lives across the state, miles away, and we
seldom if ever get to see each other. However, we keep in touch by all means at
our disposal. And letter writing, via USPS, with stamped envelopes, is one of
our main ways of communicating. It has gotten a little pricey I know. But, nothing
thrills me more than to get an old fashioned letter, or to send one. Since I do
not have a mailbox outside my residence, I have to go downtown to pick up my
mail. I do this once a week. But when I send a letter I usually do it from
Meijer's. They have a mailbox there. It's much closer to where I live than the
post office, and they pick up twice a day at Meijer's. Whereas... the downtown
branch of the post office only has one pickup time daily. And since I'm seldom
there, but once a week, it's a tad bit inconvenient, if I want my letters to
get to my girlfriend in a timely fashion. So I opt for convenience. Do you
write letters? Or prefer emails and texting?
