22nd October 2024
I received some real post the other day and the excitement has not worn off. It wasn’t my birthday or any kind of special day; except now it was.
It was from a person I know and like but rarely see, who wanted to send me something because they are nice and they knew I’d like it. Simple, but also wonderful.
It reminded me of the pleasure of writing to friends, sending updates and found objects with no expectation except for a reply in the following weeks. It made me wonder if I could start writing letters again?
I’m not sure I still can, the ease of texting might be too hard to resist, but I think I might be brave and ask an old friend who I don’t see often enough if she’s up for the experiment.
