Letters

I love that we live in such a technologically advanced world, but there's one thing I think we are missing out on because of convenience. To me, there's nothing better than a hand-written letter from someone you love. It may be a bit Jane Austen old fashioned, but I love the intimacy and grace of words on paper. I have saved every letter my grandfather has written me and I have one from my brother and another from his wife that I often read. I enjoy going back over the words and what they meant in that season of my life and how they still encourage me now. This weekend I received a love letter of sorts for the first time in ten years or so and it was possibly the best impression this guy could have made. I think instead of blogging about it, I have some letters of my own to write.
