When is the last time you sat down and put ink to paper to express your love and appreciation for those in your life? With the digital age getting us farther and farther away from what was, a slower simpler way of living, we want to hold onto the joy that is found in giving and receiving a handwritten note - especially when it's a special occasion worth all of the celebrating!
A precious, penned message is such a beautiful way of expressing your thoughts and feelings all while practicing the “art of slow”. Taking the time to not only sit and think about how you feel towards someone or a situation but also in waiting for the message to arrive in the recipient’s mailbox. Also, isn’t it funny how your mail has a way of arriving at the exact moment, on the exact day when the reader needs to hear your message most? We like to call that the magic of happy mail!
You know what we’re talking about, that feeling you used to get when you were a kid and your parents came across an envelope addressed to you! A surprise letter from a pen pal, or maybe a birthday invitation – whatever it was, you knew it was going to be good! We still get that same feeling of delight when we see a hand-written card addressed in our name, amongst the stacks of bills and flyers that come with being an adult.
With cards available for every occasion, the small, inexpensive gesture of sending a heartfelt note can go a long way. Whether it’s a Birthday, Welcoming a new face to the neighbourhood, or a new little one! Celebrating a Wedding, an Anniversary, or even a Retirement. Even for those times when you don’t know what to say, and just want to let them know that you care.
Letters and cards are a keepsake, that when given at a time when someone needs it most, can brighten a day or change a mood. The personal thought and effort that goes into choosing a card and writing a thoughtful message can mean the world to someone. So next time someone is on your mind, find that perfect card that you know will make them smile, address it with your handwriting, lick the envelope, add a stamp and drop it in that old-fashioned mailbox up the road!
