At my writing desk: Whatever. It seems more like a reading day than a writing day. Maybe I'll take a mental health day!
In the mail: Happy mail from Michigan and Maryland. One of them included a deliciously long letter.

Praying for: My Emily. She inherited her Pop's back issues. She was acting silly last night and put her back out.
Thankful for: My pinterest pin that went viral -- 7.7k almost overnight. One near and dear to my heart -- Affirm a Child.
I'm reading: Excerpts from "The Life Giving Home" by Sally and Sarah Clarkson. Melanie sent some pictures of a few of the pages about letter writing. "In the lilt of each loop, the way we dot our i's and cross our t's, we infuse ourselves into our words. The very act of writing tends to bring out a greater depth of emotion in us, and it communicates to the receiving individual that we are invested personally in this gesture."
Postmarking: I worked on some cards last night at Barnes and Noble. I found a box of cards to buy, too. By Paperstyle -- a new brand to me. You Make Me Shine.
Favorite quote: "What happens most is developing the habit of noticing and appreciating the gifts we are given and learning to express our gratitude, love, encouragement and support in the most gracious and effective ways possible -- in the words we speak, type, or write by hand." Sally and Sarah Clarkson
A long handwritten letter? That is a lost form of art. I can't even write more than a paragraph anymore without hand cramps.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your Pinterest pin going viral. I write letters to my grand daughter even though we live 5 minutes away. Who will teach this generation the power of letter writing?
