When was the last time you received a letter that came in an envelope with a stamp on it? When was the last time you wrote a letter or thank you card? No not an email, a text message or a business letter but an actual pen to paper correspondence you sent from the post office. A Dear Aunty, Grandma, Family or Friend production filled with news and anecdotes. Or a card that simply said you're thinking about the other person.

Receiving this so called snail mail still puts a smile on the face of many. It tells them that the person took extra time and effort to send their news or say hello. Sometimes it is in the form of a several page letter and sometimes it is a note card. It may only be a few words saying they were thinking about the recipient or reminding them of a favourite memory that was shared. Regardless of the size or shape, it will usually garner a smile when the mail box is opened to find an envelope with a hand written address on it from someone who may be near or far away.
The tradition of writing letters and notes needs to be resurrected. It's not only is a form of contact, but it is also a way for all generations to use the skills our education systems are ignoring. This so called old fashioned form of communication is fast becoming a lost art and talent.
Put a smile on someone’s face. Take the time to get in touch with them through this time honoured tradition.
