There’s still plenty of time to write some letters this month. Send a thank you to a friend for just being there, mail some birthday cards instead of just saying “happy birthday” on Facebook, or send a love note to your significant other.
I have got to start writing more letters! I always love when I get a letter in the mail. It’s so much more personal. P.S. Those stamps are adorable.
