Outgoing Mail

I’ve always loved getting letters in the mail, and I’ve always liked sending them, too. It doesn’t happen as often as I would like these days, and the letters I send to people are much, much shorter and less fancy than they used to be, but putting a stack of addressed envelopes with letter treasures inside on the windowsill by the front door to be placed in the mail at sunrise the next day still brings me joy.

It has been fun to watch The Banana catch the letter writing bug over the past few months. Mr. Trouble on Feet does not always enjoy writing letters, but he has recently discovered that using speech to text on the computer can be a kind of fun way to write to his cousins and extended family members who live far away. Mr. TOF is learning to type, but fluently typing is a long process and still feels a little frustrating at times.

Friendly emails and snail mail are most definitely my love language. I love to send them. I love to receive them.
