How offten do you send a message? Once a month to a family member? Email, Facebook? Do you ever send a real letter? There is something nice about getting a real letter, an envelope personally addressed and sealed with a message inside that was written by hand. A handwritten letter is more then a scrap of paper with pencil marks. It shows the sender spent time putting the letters down. Letters aren't just a quick thing; they take time and thought.
In today's world it can be tempting to send a message the easy way, using a technical device, but that is so quick it doesn't send any degree of care. With a real letter the sender has to think of the right words and correct mistakes on their own. And the letter is in their own hand, not a typed letter.
There's something wonderful about a handwritten letter. It isn't just perfectly straight letters on a starched piece of paper; if it's handwritten it is bound to have some smudges, rips, or stains. This is what makes it wonderful. Reader, I hope you've taken something out of this, so the next time you send a message I hope you will write a real letter. It's not that hard; all it takes is a piece of paper, a pencil, and your very own words.
