So what have I learned during my 100 days of mail? I think my letter writing skills have improved. I, hopefully, am becoming a better story teller. I'm definitely becoming more observant. This project is forcing me to keep my eyes and ears open for great stories and happenings that I can relay in letter form to my pen friends. I also feel more bold and open with people as I write these letters. Writing letters by hand makes me slow down. It gives me time to think through things and ponder deep thoughts. I find I am taking the time to reflect more on my recipient. Who really is this person to me? Do they know how I feel about them? How can I express what their friendship really means to me? There's just something magical about a hand-written note nowadays. Its rarity seems to make it an appropriate place to express feelings that I don't always share face to face or over the phone. Profound feeling of love and gratitude abound! In other words...MAGIC!!!
This has been a great project so far. I'm still motiviated to keep on writing! I've been getting a lot of wonderful replies, too! Thank you so much! Keep 'em coming! And if you are participating in a postal project of your own I encourage you to Write On!! It's magic!
XOXO
Mrs. Murphy
