On Writing Letters
by Sarita - February 7th, 2009.Filed under: Other.
In the tough economic times, I find myself changing in interesting ways. Whereas I used to go out to the movies, I now save my money and stay at home playing board games with friends. While I used to think nothing of driving over to visit loved ones across town, I now plan my outings and do the best I can to conserve fuel.
I also write letters. It’s something I’ve never really practiced before (e-mail was popularized in my youth, and the art of letter-writing was lost to me), but it’s surprisingly rewarding.
The mere act of putting pen to paper is calming and meditative. There is no sound of keys clicking and there are no flashing icons to distract me in the background. When I’m writing to my friends and family, I’m completely in the moment and focused on what I’m doing. I plan each sentence - there is no backspace key. I smile just thinking of how it must feel to open a mailbox and find a letter, a real letter, instead of only junk mail and bills (which are a rarety; even those are mailed to me online these days).
In my zest for letter-writing, I’ve been seeking out pretty paper and lovely pens to write with. These tools become inexpensive luxuries that I indulge in when I can no longer afford a spa visit or new shoes. I’ve discovered that there are many wonderful artists who’ve designed print-ready stationary templates that can be printed at home with whatever color cardstock happens to suit my fancy.
Some of my favorite examples: littlebrownpen’s dandelion design, littleTstudio’s love in bloom, deersweetheartstudio’s heart baloon design.
During hard times, I’ve come to enjoy the simple, basic things in life. In a world when the newest gadget is too much to budget for (sorry, iPhone), the simplest media suddenly becomes a more than suitable replacement. I hope that those who receive my letters get as much pleasure from reading them as I did from writing them.
